Centre to Review Goa Proposal For 24x7 Tap Water Supply

The central government has assured Goa that its request for Rs 6.52 billion to implement a 24x7 ‘Drink from Tap’ (DfT) water supply project will be reviewed. The project aims to provide households with uninterrupted access to potable water.

This assurance came after a high-level meeting in Panaji chaired by Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, with Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and Urban Development Minister Vishwajit Rane. The meeting discussed ongoing urban development and power projects.

The DfT proposal includes water source augmentation, infrastructure upgrades, network rehabilitation, smart metering, and SCADA-based monitoring. The minister also asked officials to consider policy changes to allocate more funds to tourist-heavy states like Goa under schemes such as AMRUT 2.0 and Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0.

Khattar urged Goa to expedite water and sewer connection work, tender public sanitation facilities, and complete waste management infrastructure. He also encouraged greater citizen participation in schemes like PMAY-Urban and PM SVANidhi, focusing on affordable housing and financial inclusion for women and street vendors.
