The Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) will provide round-the-clock treated water to builders from its sewage treatment plants (STPs), said Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner P. C. Meena on Thursday at a meeting to sensitise the developers on the recent Punjab & Haryana High Court barring use of underground water for construction activities.

He said the builders can procure the treated and recycled water from the government or private sources for construction purposes but need to disclose the source to the authorities. He clarified that construction is not banned in Gurgaon, but use of groundwater is not allowed.

PANJIM: At a time when every single drop of water has been termed as precious by the state government, which aims to provide 24x7 supply, up to 12,000 cubic meters (or 12 MLD) of water treated at the sewerage plant at Tonca is flushed out into River Mandovi every single day.

The water is so clean that just one tertiary unit more of treatment at the plant would make it fit to drink by even Singapore standards. But as it is, the water is waiting to be used at least for gardening, washing and other such purposes. Except that the authorities prefer to, literally, just flush it down the river.

All construction activity has been stalled in Gurgaon till the builders make arrangements to use recycled water from the Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) of Dhanwapur or Behrampur.
