Sheila Dikshit inaugurated a 1 MGD sewage treatment plant (STP) and 1 MGD water treatment plant (WTP) -- both set up by the Delhi Jal Board -- in the presence of state finance minister AK Walia.
Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit today inaugurated sewage and water treatment plants at the Commonwealth Games Village to meet the water requirements during the October sporting extravaganza.
Dikshit inaugurated a 1 MGD sewage treatment plant (STP) and 1 MGD water treatment plant (WTP) -- both set up by the Delhi Jal Board -- in the presence of state finance minister AK Walia.
The MGD Water Treatment plant built at a cost of Rs 35.20 crore will use groundwater and provide 1 MGD water to the Commonwealth Games Village. The treatment scheme will use state-of-the-art technology and it has been designed as a zero
liquid waste discharge plant.
The sewage treatment plant has been set up at a cost of Rs 31.95 crore for the CWG Village and it provides the advantage of minimum carbon footprint while maintaining the overall architectural and aesthetic requirements.
"It is very necessary and the plant will ultimately supply for the Games Village and hopefully for Akshardam Temple. The 1 MGD plant is specially dedicated for the Games," Dikshit said after inaugurating the plants.
"The water treatment technology (used in the plant) is the best system in the world. The water is really good. The plant will also treat the used water which can be re-used for cleaning, washing and gardening," she said.
To minimise the pressure on the drinking water supply of the DJB, the treated waste water will be recycled for flushing toilets, air-conditioning and maintaining of horticulture in the village complex.
The 1 MGD sewage treatment plant is the first in India of this capacity which is housed inside a building.
DJB CEO Ramesh Negi and other officials were also present on the occasion.
