Bengaluru, November 29, 2025: Boson Whitewater, a water utility company that converts treated wastewater into high-quality potable water, has announced a pilot project in collaboration with the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) at the Kadubeesanahalli Government Sewage Treatment Plant (STP).
The initiative aims to supply 70,000 litres of recycled water per day to industries and commercial establishments along the Outer Ring Road, primarily for cooling tower applications. The project will use an advanced tertiary treatment plant that channels STP-treated water through Boson Whitewater’s 11-step recycling system to produce high-quality water. The effort is expected to reduce reliance on freshwater sources and prevent treated wastewater from entering natural water bodies.
Boson Whitewater was selected as one of six grantees from more than 500 applicants under Titan Company Limited’s Design Impact Awards initiative. The first phase of the programme includes a grant of ₹50 lakh for each beneficiary, with additional support from Villgro and Sattva Consulting.
BWSSB Chairman Ram Prasath Manohar said, “First of its kind initiative by BOSON where high quality water is recovered from the treated waste water and supplied to IT parks, industries & commercial buildings for their secondary applications. BWSSB always appreciates water re-use efforts.”
Commenting on the development, Vikas Brahmavar, Co-Founder, Boson Whitewater, said, “This pilot demonstrates how Bengaluru can move towards a true circular water economy. By supplying 70,000 litres of high-quality water every day, we are not only conserving precious freshwater but also ensuring that treated wastewater is put to productive use within the city. If scaled, this model can transform how our city manages its water.”
BWSSB has provided space for the pilot and will facilitate the sale of the recycled water generated. Initially, water will be supplied through tankers, with the possibility of scaling the model to other STPs in Bengaluru. Over time, a dedicated pipeline network could link STPs directly to industries for steady supply, creating a replicable model for cities with centralised wastewater treatment systems.
