The study presented in this paper discusses the suitability of using treated waste water for making concrete. Experiments conducted give us an idea about the compressive strength and water permeability for the M25 grade of concrete. For optimizing the use of treated waste water cube specimens were cast using variables proportions such as: 50%, 75%, 100% and comparison was done with potable water results. The compressive strength result for M25 grade concrete was highest corresponding to 100% addition of treated waste water. The average water permeability value for M25 grade concrete was lowest for 100% proportion of waste water. From the test results obtained, it is recommended to use 100% waste water for M25 grade concrete.
