Bengaluru: The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) will supply treated water to the Peenya Industrial Area through pipelines, promoting water reuse.
The board has called for tenders to supply ‘ultra-pure treated water’ to the Peenya Industrial Area.
BWSSB Chairman Dr Ram Prasath Manohar said the project aims to provide uninterrupted high-grade treated water to the industrial area.
"The primary objective is to supply water at an affordable cost to support growth and operations of small-scale industries in the region," he said.
Treated water will be supplied from the four-MLD STP at Nagasandra and processed with advanced technology. The project aims to conserve potable water currently used by lakhs of workers for non-production needs such as flushing and cleaning.
By substituting fresh water with ultra-pure treated water, the board intends to save millions of litres of Cauvery water, which can then be redirected to Bengaluru households, the BWSSB said in a statement.
The project includes a 27-km dedicated HDPE pipeline to industrial units, a sump-pump house, pumping machinery, a DI Rising Main, and a five-lakh litre overhead tank.
