In an attempt to recycle and re-use the sewage water, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has been putting efforts since the last few years. However, in order to quicken the process, the civic body has decided to build seven new sewage treatment plants. Out of the seven sewage treatment plants, the treatment facilities at Ghatkopar and Versova will be taken care of by Tata Consulting Engineers Limited company.
The municipal corporation will be paying ₹55 crore to the company for looking over the construction of the treatment plants at Versova and Ghatkopar.
The Pollution Control Board (PCB) has been working towards scrutinising the laws to curb pollution in the city. Accordingly, after constant changes in the regulations regarding the disposal of sewage water by the PCB, the municipal corporation in 2002 decided to launch an initiative to upgrade the sewage disposal.
