In the previous year, Pune Municipal Corporation shipped 16,714 tankers to various stakeholders,
providing 16 crore litres of treated sewage water for construction works. The water has been
examined and is OK for this use. Last year, the solid waste department gave instructions to builders
and contractors to utilise treated sewage water. Aniruddha Pawaskar, the chief superintendent
engineer of the water supply division, claimed that 25 persons had been penalised for using potable
water for things like vehicle washing.
The landscaping department and contractors who build roads and buildings were among the groups
advised by the solid waste department to utilise treated sewage water last year. "Last year, PMC had
issued a circular and instructed all contractors, garden department officials, and builders to use
treated sewage water for construction activities," said Pramod Unde, executive engineer, solid waste
management department. The horticultural department's employees already use cleaned sewage
water. In addition, this water is used by builders. The water has undergone standard testing and is
suitable for this use.
The Naidu Hospital (near the Pune station), Baner, Bopodi, Mundhwa, Kharadi, Vittalwadi (Sinhagad
Road), Erandwane, and Bhairoba Nala (Hadapsar) are among the locations of our sewage treatment
plants. We have given 16,714 tankers to various parties as of yet. The Kharadi sewage treatment
plant supplied the most tankers out of that total. According to statistics, more than 150 tankers are
sent out from Kharadi each week," he stated.
The use of treated sewage water received positive feedback, according to Aniruddha Pawaskar, chief
superintendent engineer for the water supply department. Additionally, we have taken legal action
against 25 persons for utilising drinking water for other purposes, such as car washing.
