Surat Municipal Corporation(SMC) has started supplying treated waste water to Pandesara based industrial units through tertiary treatment plant.
The plant was activated in March 2014, however it has recently achieved 70-80% stability. Domestic waster water is treated in STP of tertiary treatment plant and later it is used for industrial use.
The project has been successful and SMC at present supplies 35 MLD water to industries in Pandesara area.
