BWSSB Proposes 1 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant Near Tavarekere Park in Bengaluru
The Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has proposed a 1 million litres per day (MLD) decentralised sewage treatment plant (STP) near Tavarekere Park at an estimated cost of around Rs 5 crore. The plant aims to treat sewage flowing through a nearby stormwater drain to address foul odour and hygiene concerns, reusing treated water for park maintenance and other non-potable purposes in surrounding areas. Some residents have questioned the project's necessity and cost, suggesting alternatives like pumping sewage to existing facilities.
