Description
Presently the Tiruppur corporation receives water from 3 supply schemes, scheme 1& 2 with river Bhavani as source and scheme 3 with river Cauvery as a source
Scheme 1 was commissioned in 1965 and is owned and maintained by Tiruppur corporation, Scheme 2 was commissioned in 1993 and is operated and maintained by TWAD board, Scheme 3 was commissioned in 2005 and is owned, operated and maintained by NTADCL
Existing distribution system is designed for 90 lpcd for a population of 6,39,000. The project was due for an upgrade as Scheme 1 pipes were more than 50 years old, scheme 2 pipes were more than 25 years old and the expanded corporation area also does not have a proper distribution system.
The population of the expanded corporation as per 2011 census is 8.78 lakhs and projected population for years 2020, 2035 and 2050 are expected to be 10.80 lakh, 14.80, and 19.50 lakh respectively and as per the CPHEEO norms rate of LPCD is 135 LPCD and is estimated to be 226.20 MLD and 297.4 MLD for intermediate and ultimate stages. Further the extended area of corporation does not have a planned water distribution system.

Testimonial
As the supply of water has increased, the clean water is now available for longer periods as compared to before.
The water is treated before the supply thanks to the new Water treatment plant and the new supply scheme and as a result we have a regular supply of clean water.
With a regular supply it is now easier to maintain the household chores that required clean water like washing vegetables and fruits, cleaning clothes etc.
Water is now available at a greater frequency making it easier to supply water to our farms and maintain the crops and vegetables growing there.
As an operator for the water supply facility, now I have better equipment for water supply and also have pumps on standby in case any of the main pumps fail’s
