Navi Mumbai: NMMC Makes Treated Water Mandatory For Construction, Gardens And Stadiums To Conserve Drinking

Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) made treated water mandatory for construction projects, private gardens, stadiums, and educational institutions to conserve potable water.

Morbe Dam's usable water storage remains at only 40.62% despite receiving 1,594.20 mm of rainfall so far this monsoon.

NMMC Commissioner Dr Kailas Shinde directed developers to stop using drinking water for construction and switch to treated water supplied by the civic body.

The civic body intensified the 'Catch the Rain' campaign by encouraging housing societies to adopt rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge measures.
