<p>To help small and tiny industries treat and recycle waste water generated on their campus, a common 300 KLD sewage treatment plant (STP), set up by the Electronics City Industrial Township Authority (ELCITA), was inaugurated at the Electronics City.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Built at a cost of Rs 1.24 crore, the STP will recycle the waste water collected from the small hotels and the educational institutions in the locality. Once treated, the water can be used for construction, watering trees and other purposes. <br /><br />“Larger industries have set up their waste water treatment plants on their campus while small and tiny industries face glitches in setting up and maintaining an STP. To help such industries, the project was proposed in 2013,” said an ELCITA staffer. CEO, ELCITA, Rama N S said the Electronics City generates 6,000 kilolitres of waste water every day.<br /> <br />At least 52 % of the waste water is being currently treated and reused. <br /><br />“We plan to set up two more STPs in the area, provided we get the land. The main purpose of our project is to ensure that waste water did not end up in lakes, drains and other places,” she added. <br /><br />ELCITA’s jurisdiction covers an area of 903 acres and 11 guntas with more than 200 companies coming under its ambit.<br /><br />The STP will be followed by an interactive session on the safe disposal of used cooking oil and generation of bio fuels, by experts from Eco Green Fuels and Hasiru Dala.</p>
