Delhi Govt. Plans Tp provide Recycled Water To Clusters

30 March, New Delhi

Delhi Government is planning an ambitious project to provide recycled water to clusters of 100 to 200 houses on pilot basis.

It is expected that the water supply in this way will cost less than development charge for sewage system.

Speaking on the sidelines of a function at Rashtrapati Bhavan, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Monday said the pilot project will be implemented within a month and the cost of the project is being worked out.

He said, Delhi Jal Board Chief had gone to Singapore to study the system. Singapore also lives on recycled water as there is no natural source of fresh water.

Kejriwal said, if this project is successful then Delhi government will start it in 15-20 more locations. He also said the effort is to make the national capital self-sustainable in water supply.
