India’s Cleanest City Indore Sells Treated Wastewater Through Smart Recycling, Earns Lakhs
Indore: The city, considered cleanest in India, has once again reiterated its 'clean' identity by purifying even sewage water. And the Indore Municipal Corporation is probably the first to earn revenue to the tune of lakhs of rupees every day by selling treated sewage water into a profitable and sustainable resource.
Sources said, wastewater collected from the city's drains and sewer lines is processed at sewage treatment plants before being sold for non-potable purposes. The treated water is primarily used for construction activities, automobile service centres and maintaining gardens, helping conserve precious drinking water.
To promote water conservation, the municipal corporation has made it mandatory for construction contractors, vehicle service stations and public gardens to use treated water instead of groundwater or potable water and issued directives for strict compliance.
