India’s largest recycled water masterplan, for the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), will be prepared by Black & Veatch. In view of new discharge standards by the Central Pollution Control Board, MCGM is planning to include tertiary treatment for a portion of the flow, and recycle the tertiary treated effluent for non‐potable reuse.
The Strategic Recycled Water Master Plan will outline the framework for reuse of tertiary treated effluent from all seven of Mumbai’s wastewater treatment plants, and serve as a guiding document to build infrastructure for recycled water in a phased manner.
Black & Veatch will deliver this complex project through a combination of local and global expertise. The recycled water masterplan is Black & Veatch’s second marquee project win with MCGM in twelve months. In May 2016, the company was awarded the contract to undertake consultancy services, and prepare a detailed project report and tender documents, for MCGM’s wastewater treatment facility for Malad zone.
