The work order will be issued thereafter.
This project, which falls under the Centre'sAtal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), has a dual focus. It aims to replace 250-km of old water supply pipelines while simultaneously laying 100 km of new pipelines in the developing areas of the city. The financial structure of the project states that the civic body will receive 50% of the funds from the govt and will self-finance the remaining 50%.
The overall initiative includes six distinct works designed to boost the city's water distribution network. Two major components are a Rs95.2 crore allocation for replacing pipelines that transport raw water from pumping stations to water filtration plants, as well as purified water from filtration plants to elevated water tanks. Additionally, another Rs90.3 crore will be dedicated to replacing existing old water distribution pipelines across various parts of the city.
These crucial projects are intended to significantly reduce water leakages and bring down the civic body's non-revenue water (NRW) from the current 45% to below 20%.
"We will replace old water distribution pipelines in all the six divisions," a civic official said.
