Green initiatives: Mumbai is implementing the second phase of the “Mumbai Sewerage Disposal Project”, which aims to comply with national and international standards by improving sanitation access, sewerage-conveyance infrastructure and treatment facilities. An important component of the first phase of the project, from 1996 to 2005, was the construction of 330 community toilet blocks — totalling about 6,000 seats — that served 400,000 people within informal settlements. The second phase aims to build another 35,000 toilet seats by 2012.
