Read the following passage carefully:
In response to declining urban groundwater levels and rising industrial water demand, the State Water Resources Department introduced the Industrial Recycled Water Mandate (IRWM). Under this policy, all manufacturing units consuming more than 50,000 liters of water daily must source at least 40% of their operational water from certified municipal wastewater treatment facilities. Companies meeting this threshold receive a 15% concession on state commercial electricity tariffs. However, units operating in designated drought-prone districts are granted a two-year exemption from mandatory compliance, provided they install real-time flow telemetry meters by the end of the current fiscal year. Industry analysts note that while large manufacturing firms have rapidly adopted the recycling protocols to leverage the tariff concessions, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face prohibitive capital expenditures for specialized piping and pretreatment infrastructure required to receive municipal recycled streams. Consequently, several SME federations have petitioned the department for targeted capital grants to offset these infrastructure transition costs.
Statement: Under the IRWM policy, a manufacturing unit in a drought-prone district consuming 60,000 liters of water daily that fails to install a real-time flow telemetry meter by the end of the current fiscal year forfeits its two-year exemption and is immediately required to comply with the 40% recycled water sourcing rule.
