Chandigarh: Tertiary-treated water supply project set for revamp

With water conservation on its mind, the Chandigarh municipal corporation has started the process to revamp the recycled water supply system across the city. “More than 14 MGD of drinking water supply currently being used for horticulture and other similar purposes can be saved through an upgraded tertiary-treated water system. Increased use of this recycled water can conserve groundwater and canal water and save on pumping energy,” said NP Sharma, MC chief engineer and chief general manager of Chandigarh Smart City Limited. For improving the quantity and quality of TT water, five sewage treatment plants – Diggian, Dhanas, 3BRD, Raipur Kalan and Raipur Khurd – are being upgraded at a cost of ₹530 crore.
