In most cities, wastewater treatment is seen as a one time project. Build the STP, hand it over, and hope it works. But anyone who manages a commercial property or apartment knows the truth. STPs fail quietly…
Urban India needed a different way to run wastewater systems.
Something reliable.
Something outcome-focused.
Something that removes the burden from communities.
This is where Urban STP as a Service (SaaS) comes in.
What Is Urban SaaS?
Urban SaaS is a fresh new model where wastewater treatment is not sold as equipment but delivered as an ongoing service. Instead of buying and managing an STP, clients simply subscribe to a service that guarantees results of CLEAN WATER.
The responsibility of the treatment plant shifts from the community to Megaliter.
The client pays a fixed monthly fee.
Megaliter invests, constructs, operates, and maintains the plant.
Why This Makes Sense for Cities
1. Most existing STPs are not performing well – Across India, thousands of treatment plants lie underutilized or poorly operated. Communities continue to pay for a system that is not delivering the quality or quantity of treated water required. Urban SaaS solves this by reviving and operating the plant professionally every single day.
2. Zero CapEx, zero uncertainty – In traditional models, big capital costs become a barrier. Even when a community wants to fix or upgrade an STP, funds and approvals slow everything down. Under Urban SaaS, Megaliter takes care of the investment. The community only pays for performance through a monthly subscription.
3. Buildings get reliable treated water for reuse – With a stable STP, flushing systems, gardens, cooling towers, and construction needs can all run on treated water. This cuts tanker dependence and reduces pressure on borewells. Every liter reused is a liter saved.
4. Compliance becomes effortless – Urban communities are under growing pressure to meet environmental norms. With Urban SaaS, all monitoring and discharge quality standards are maintained by Megaliter. This keeps buildings compliant without stress.
5. It aligns with how modern cities work – Cities already use everything as a service:
security, housekeeping, power backup, lifts, landscaping, and maintenance. Wastewater treatment is finally catching up.

Why Urban SaaS Is the Future
Cities are growing fast. Water stress is rising. Regulations are becoming stricter.
A model that depends on communities running their own STPs is simply not scalable.
Urban SaaS removes the burden and replaces uncertainty with expertise.
At Megaliter Varunaa, we believe wastewater treatment should not be a headache. It should be a service, delivered consistently, with results that communities can trust.
