Mumbai BMC Plans to Use Treated Sewage Water for Road Washing Amid Water Cuts
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to use treated sewage water from its Colaba sewage treatment plant for road washing to reduce dust pollution amid a 10% water supply cut in Mumbai. This follows the rejection of a proposal to use potable water for the exercise. The BMC also aims to employ AI-powered monitoring of air-quality sensors at construction sites to identify pollution hotspots and enforce regulations. The road washing is part of annual dust-control efforts excluding the monsoon season.
