QUESTION
Use of STP effluent water in construction in Sriperumbadur, Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Is it possible to use the treated water coming out of a Sewage treatment plant in construction purposes? Hirco is working on an integrated township near Sriperumbadur in Tamil Nadu. The project would come in a number of phases. As the first phase gets completed, the other phases would follow; We will need large quantities of water for the construction of aparments, shopping centres, hospital, school etc. Hence I would like to know if the STP treated water can be used in the construcion of builings.
