Panjim city to get 24x7 water supply with SCADA system

04 Feb 2022 CW Team

According to available information, administrative approval and expenditure sanction have been granted for eight of the thirteen components.The Public Works Department (PWD) Division III will be in charge of all of these projects.

Replacement of 3.3 kilovolt motors and control panels, supplying and installing pumps, supplying and installing three modular substations, replacement of centrifugal pumps, vertical pumps, retro-filling of two vertical turbine pumps, replacement of search control valves, implementation of a digitisation project, and implementation of Smart water supply system to stop Non-Revenue Water (NRW) are all part of the project.

Two of the three modular sub-stations will be built at the Opa Water Treatment Plant for the dedicated pipeline that will supply water to Panjim City, and one will be built at Altinho.

The construction of a 2000-litre sump and a 650-litre overhead reservoir, both of which are proposed for Altinho, is currently in the tendering process.

The 13 components are estimated to cost Rs 77.37 crore in total.

In Goa, the per capita water demand is 150 litre per capita per day (LPCD) in urban areas with sewerage lines, 140 litre per capita per day (LPCD) in areas without sewerage lines, and 70 litre per day per person in rural areas.

Consumers, on the other hand, are using more water, and the excess is being used for gardening, washing vehicles, and cleaning their homes, according to the PWD (water supply section).

24x7 water supply, according to PWD sources, is not round-the-clock water, but rather a provision for customers to store water in sumps in their homes.
