Abstract: The T-Spherical Fuzzy set (T-SPHFS) is one of the core simplifications of quite a lot of fuzzy concepts such as fuzzy set (FS), intuitionistic fuzzy set (ITFS), picture fuzzy set (PIFS), Q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (Q-RUOFS), etc. T-SPHFS reveals fuzzy judgment by the degree of positive membership, degree of abstinence, degree of negative membership, and degree of refusal with relaxed conditions, and this is a more powerful mathematical tool to pair with inconsistent, indecisive, and indistinguishable information. In this article, several novel operational laws for T-SPFNs based on the Schweizer–Sklar t-norm (SSTN) and the Schweizer–Sklar t-conorm (SSTCN) are initiated, and some desirable characteristics of these operational laws are investigated. Further, maintaining the dominance of the power aggregation (POA) operators that confiscate the ramifications of the inappropriate data and Heronian mean (HEM) operators that consider the interrelationship among the input information being aggregated, we intend to focus on the T-Spherical fuzzy Schweizer–Sklar power Heronian mean (T-SPHFSSPHEM) operator, the T-Spherical fuzzy Schweizer–Sklar power geometric Heronian mean (T-SPHFSSPGHEM) operator, the T-Spherical fuzzy Schweizer–Sklar power weighted Heronian mean (T-SPHFSSPWHEM) operator, the T-Spherical fuzzy Schweizer–Sklar power weighted geometric Heronian mean (T-SPHFSSPWGHEM) operator, and their core properties and exceptional cases in connection with the parameters. Additionally, deployed on these newly initiated aggregation operators (AOs), a novel multiple attribute decision making (MADM) model is proposed. Then, the initiated model is applied to the City of Penticton (British Columbia, Canada) to select the best choice among the accessible seven water reuse choices to manifest the practicality and potency of the preferred model and a comparison with the proffered models is also particularized.
