Brigade Autograph Water, Sewage and Waste Systems

Brigade Autograph water, sewage and waste systems are the on-site plants that supply water to the towers, treat wastewater and process kitchen waste. The Brigade Group township plans four sewage treatment plants (STPs), rainwater harvesting, an organic waste converter (OWC), an underground sump, a pump room and overhead tanks. ₹65 Crore of the construction budget is set aside for these systems, and the plumbing package adds ₹112.50 Crore.
Sewage Treatment Plants
Brigade Autograph has four sewage treatment plants, three for the homes and one for the commercial block. Each plant serves a set of towers, so no single plant carries the whole load.
| STP | Serves | Capacity | Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP-01 | Towers A and B, and the clubhouse | 590 KLD | 806 sq.m. |
| STP-02 | Towers C and D | 540 KLD | 800 sq.m. |
| STP-03 | Tower E | 220 KLD | 315 sq.m. |
| STP-09 | Retail and office building | 250 KLD | 525 sq.m. |
KLD means kilolitres per day. The three residential plants treat 1,350 KLD between them. The STP tanks are in the lowest basement, below the towers.
Water Storage and Supply
Water storage at Brigade Autograph runs from an underground sump to overhead tanks on the towers. The pump room lifts water from the sump to the tanks, and gravity feeds it down to each home.
- Underground sump: the main water store at ground level and below.
- Pump room: pumps that move water up the 48-floor towers.
- Overhead tanks: storage on top of the towers for steady pressure.
- Water and sanitation area: 581 sq.m. is set aside for these services.
Rainwater Harvesting and Storm Water Drains
Rainwater harvesting at Brigade Autograph is part of the project's water conservation work. The RERA registration lists water conservation, rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge among both the internal and external infrastructure works.
- Rainwater harvesting: rainwater collection and groundwater recharge are part of the plan.
- Storm water drains: a drain network carries heavy rain away from roads and buildings.
- Parks and trees: 81% of the land stays open, which lets more rain soak into the ground.
Organic Waste Converter
The organic waste converter at Brigade Autograph turns kitchen and food waste into compost on site. It cuts the waste that leaves the township, and the compost can feed the gardens and landscaped areas.
Solar Water Heating
Solar water heating at Brigade Autograph serves the master toilet in homes on the top 2 floors of each tower.
Power for Water Systems
Power backup at Brigade Autograph keeps the pumps and treatment plants running during power cuts. DG backup covers 100% of the common areas, which include the pump room, the STPs and the lifts.
| Towers | DG Sets |
|---|---|
| Towers A and B | 5 sets |
| Towers C and D | 4 sets |
| Tower E | 2 sets |
| Clubhouse | 1 set |
| Retail and office | 4 sets |
Why These Systems Matter to Residents
These systems matter because a tall township needs steady water, clean drains and a plan for waste. Brigade Autograph has 1,898 apartments in five 48-floor towers, so the plants are sized for each group of towers.
- Steady supply: sumps, pumps and tanks keep water flowing to the top floors.
- Clean surroundings: wastewater is treated on site before it leaves.
- Less waste: kitchen waste becomes compost instead of going to a landfill.
