        abstract = {This paper investigates the feasibility of using Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) effluent water as a replacement of potable water in concrete production. The experiment involved comparing the parameters of potable water and STP effluent, followed by cube casting and compressive strength testing on M25 grade concrete prepared using various proportions of both water types, for 3,7,14,28 and 42 days compressive strength. Results shows that concrete cast and cured using STP water have higher compressive strength compared to concrete made with fresh water. The results suggest that STP water can serve as a sustainable alternative to potable water in concrete production without compromising strength.},
