Water woes for the city seem to be unending. Soon, people residing in high-rises and big housing complexes will have to reduce their municipal water consumption, so that others living in smaller societies get their quota of supply.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to make recycling of grey water (waste water) mandatory for even existing buildings. It had initially proposed to enforce the reform for new constructions.
Housing premises which have an area of more than 2,000 sq m or which contain more than 80 dwellings will have to recycle waste water and use the same for non-potable purposes.
Housing, commercial and industrial premises consuming more than 60,000 litres daily will also be required to set up treatment facilities to recycle the waste water.

:) "Water Treatment plant to be set up in 10% area of the recreational space allotted to the society"
How many buildings for which BMC has approved the plans have recreational facilities is the question.
