Wipro to get 3L of treated water daily

Bengaluru: IT major Wipro has partnered with Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) to receive three lakh litres of treated water every day.
The water board, leveraging indigenous technology developed in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), set up three sewage treatment plants capable of producing zero bacterial treated water. Wipro will get its supply from Agara sewage treatment plant.
BWSSB chairman V Ram Prasath Manohar said, “With increasing demand for supply of treated water, the board can now save and redistribute Cauvery river water. This will also help to decreasing the pressure on groundwater.”
40 IT parks interested in treated water
According to BWSSB officials, 40 IT parks have expressed interest in receiving treated water and are likely to make a substantial impact on the city’s water conservation efforts.
