A PROJECT
Water Supply Facilities to 110 Villages in
Karnataka:
With the inclusion of 110 villages, the need for
augmentation of existing water supply arrangement
was urgently felt. It was also considered that bringing
an additional quantity of 775 MLD water from the
river project is likely to take a long time. Hence this
project will utilise the savings of water obtained by the
reduction of Unaccounted for Water (UFW) in the core
area. However, the system was designed such that it
can be integrated with the river water at a later date.

The UFW work included detail design of 26 DMAs
spread over 22 Square kilometres in the project
area, laying jointing of 400 kilometres of pipelines,
service connections for 43000 houses, domestic water
meters for 36000 homes and installation of 80 Electro
Magnetic Flowmeters.

Up to 31st March 2020 pipelines have been laid in a
length of 2660 kilometres and construction of Ground
Level Reservoirs (GLRs) and Overhead Tanks (OHTs) are
in advance stage.
