The present capacity of the project is 165 MLD and it will reach 190 MLD after its upgradation, informed a public works department official.
A Japanese company is currently studying the water supply system in the state as well as the existing condition of the pipeline network. The project is expected to cost the government considerably a large amount. The upgradation work would begin once a popular government comes to power.
The official revealed that a scheme for 24-hour water supply to the four main cities in the state was being readied. For this, special premier quality domestic water meters having additional capacity would be fitted in the areas coming under the jurisdiction of the scheme.The PWD official informed that in principle the plans have already been finalised. However, he refused to divulge more information about the same."A number of valves would also have to be replaced before implementing the 24x7 scheme," he informed.
The Delhi Water Board has also prepared a 24-hour water supply scheme for the capital city and further availed the assistance from a private agency for the same. Some of the officials of the Delhi Water Board are being trained by this agency and would carry out the work under the observation of the agency, at least for six years.
A group of senior PWD officials from Goa is expected to tour Delhi soon
for collecting the related information. The state administration is contemplating
to send some PWD officials to this agency for getting them trained in the
concerned technology.
