Water. The word itself sends chills down the spine. Such is the situation today. Almost all over the globe all kind of living beings are facing water scarcity. But clause 5.4 of IS 456 – 2000 states that “potable water is satisfactory for mixing and curing of concrete”. This work tries to deviate from this norm and secondary treated waste water (STWW) was used instead of potable water in production of M20 grade concrete both for mixing and curing to study the effects. All the necessary preliminary tests on STWW were conducted and found that all properties were well within the BIS limits. Further compressive strength tests and splitting tensile strength tests were conducted and results were on par with the results of control concrete. Cost analysis was also done and STWW was found to be cheaper than potable water. It was inferred that STWW can be used instead of potable water in production of concrete.
