The correct answer is Option A: Andhra Pradesh. Andhra Pradesh approved the Policy on Reuse of Treated Used Water, 2026 on 26 June 2026 for urban bodies across the state. The policy covers 123 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and provides a framework for collection, treatment, allocation, pricing, monitoring, and reuse of treated wastewater. Treated wastewater is sewage water processed through Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) and reused mainly for non-potable purposes such as industries, construction, and municipal services. The policy aims to cover all 123 Urban Local Bodies by 2030 with phased targets of 20 ULBs by 2027, 40 by 2028, and 90 by 2029. The policy mandates that at least 20% of urban water demand should be met through treated wastewater reuse. Industries under the policy must achieve 20% treated water reuse by 2028 and 40% reuse by 2030. The policy applies reuse conditions to thermal power plants within 50 km of STPs and industries using more than 10 KLD water within 10 km of ULBs. The treated wastewater reuse policy is aligned with Swarna Andhra Vision 2047 and focuses on urban water security, circular water management, and climate resilience.
