- 3. 24*7 Water Supply Scheme
Implemented by MJP and MNP
Commissioned in 2010
Koyana river as a perennial source
5600 connections getting continuous
water supply with110 lpcd
Sustainable scheme for projected
population of 61000 in 2037
- 4. History of Water supply in Malkapur
Combined water supply scheme for
Malkapur and Nadlapur in 1988 (40 lpcd)
New scheme for Malkapur in 2005 (55 lpcd)
24*7 water supply was suggested by MJP in
2006 (75 lpcd)
- 5. Additions in the revised scheme
(2006)
Existing rising mains, pumps and reservoir
New distribution network
With HDPE and MDPE pipes
Automated meter reading (AMR)
Cost of the project was increased
- 6. Assets of the scheme
Pump (150 HP vertical turbine)
WTP and twin MBR ( capacity:15 lakh
litre )
1 GSR ( capacity: 1.5 lakh litre )
4 ESR
( 2 of capacity 2.5 lakh litre,
1 of capacity 3.75 lakh litre,
1 of capacity 1.5 lakh litre )
- 7. Pipe types
Rising main uses DI (ductile iron) pipes
of 400 mm diameter
Distribution network has HDPE pipes
Connections from main line to home
has MDPE pipes
- 8. Scheme design parameters
Rising main and ESRs were designed for 55
lpcd assuming 12 hours of pumping
Distribution network was designed for 30
years
ESR capacity was designed for ultimate
stage of 15 years
Designed for residual pressure of 9m
Peak factor of 2.5 instead of earlier value of
3
- 9. Operational aspects
Maintained by MNP
Pump is operated for about 14-16 hours
Outlet valves of MBR and ESR are
always kept open
All other valve operations are automated
- 10. Automated ESR inlet valve
Sensors were installed in ESR
Inlet valve opens partially when water
level drops to 2/3 of ESRs capacity
Inlet valve opens completely when water
level drops to 1/3 of ESRs capacity
No need of valveman to operate the
distribution network
- 11. Automatic meter reading (AMR)
AMR meters are installed
for every connection
Effective water auditing
Checks excessive usage by
consumers
- 12. High Density Polyethylene Pipes
100m long cables
Fewer fittings due to pipe flexibility
Enhanced properties
Pipes are joined using electrofusion
- 13. Cost of water
Telescopic rates were:
Rs. 4.5/kl upto 12600 litres/month
Rs. 7/kl 12601 to 22500 litres/month
Rs. 10/kl thereafter
Higher rates for commercial sections
15% discount for household consuming less
than 55 lpcd
10% discount for paying bill before due date
New connections cost Rs.12000
Free for BPL
- 14. Benefits resulting from the project
Improvement in delivery time and
services
Less wastage of water
Electricity savings
Better water quality
Reduction in O&M cost
Simplification of billing procedure
- 15. Awards
‘Prime Ministers Award for Excellence in
Public Administration’ for the year 2009-10
‘National Urban Award’ for the year 2010
- 16. Conclusion
The proper & effective combination of high
political will power, successful
Government Machinery & public
contribution, has yielded excellent and
successful 24x7 Water Supply Scheme,
which is a path finder & mile stone for all
water supply schemes which are
proposed to be executed in future.
