Chandigarh MC to finalize consultant for water supply project

The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation (MC) is set to finalize a long-term technical adviser (LTTA) by mid-June for its ambitious 24x7 water supply project. The civic body has shortlisted six consultants for the project, which is expected to cost ₹578 crore.

The project aims to provide round-the-clock water supply to all residents of Chandigarh by 2028. The first phase of the project, which will cover Sectors 1-30, is expected to be completed by December 2024.

The MC has already floated a request for qualification (RFQ) for the project and is expecting to receive bids from the shortlisted consultants by next week. The consultant will be responsible for designing, building, and operating the water supply system for the next 15 years.

The project is being funded by a loan of ₹412 crore from the French government's Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD) and a grant of ₹100 crore from the European Union. The remaining ₹68 crore will be funded by the Chandigarh Smart City Limited.

The 24x7 water supply project is one of the key projects under the Smart City Mission in Chandigarh. The project is expected to improve the quality of life for residents and boost the city's economy.

Manimajra to get 24 X 7 water by Feb next year

The residents of Manimajra will also be getting 24 X 7 water supply by February next year. The work on the construction of two underground water reservoirs is underway. The project is a part of the pilot project under the Smart City project.

As per the record, out of 15,000 smart meters, 3,000 meters have already been installed. Both the UGRs will have 2 MGD (million-gallon capacity) per day capacity. They will first get water from Sector 26 water works and supply it to residents of Manimajra.

The pilot project has two segments, capital work and the installation of water meters. Around ₹70 crore will be spent on capital works while the remaining ₹90 crore will be for maintenance works over the next 15 years.
