MCC Releases Comprehensive Plan for Wastewater Treatment

25 Jul 2024 CW Team

Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has devised an extensive plan to set up wastewater treatment facilities in four distinct areas of the city. The goal of this initiative is to process 14 million litres per day (MLD) of water and distribute it to residents, similar to the method employed by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). This plan is a response to the looming drinking water shortage in the city.

Currently, the Vani Vilas Water Works authorities provide 235 MLD of water daily to 65 ward areas, drawing the drinking water from the Kapila and Cauvery rivers. However, around 14 MLD of treated drinking water remains unsuitable for human consumption and is wasted by the MCC due to the lack of a backwashing water treatment plant. This 14 MLD of wastewater comes from various water treatment plants: 4 MLD each from the Vanivilas Treatment Centre and Melapura water treatment plant, and 3 MLD each from the Hongalli and Bidaragodu water treatment plants. Up until now, the MCC has been using this wastewater for horticulture purposes and diverting it to Kukkarahalli Lake via pipeline without adequate treatment facilities.

To solve this problem, the MCC has developed a master plan to make this wastewater suitable for human consumption by constructing backwashing water treatment plants at all four water treatment centres.
