Brihanmumbai Municipal Commissioner and Administrator Bhushan Gagrani has directed officials to expedite the construction work on the upcoming 2,000 million litres per day (MLD) ultra-modern water treatment plant (WTP) at the Bhandup complex, stating that the project will significantly strengthen the city’s water supply system once completed.

Gagrani said the project would ensure the supply of higher-quality and safer drinking water to Mumbaikars, while also addressing future demand arising from population growth, industrial requirements, and rapid urbanisation. He stressed the need to adopt modern technology during implementation to ensure an efficient, environment-friendly, and long-term sustainable water supply system.
