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.
Project Cost is estimated to be around INR 28.75 Cr in which it is proposed to provide internal plumbing for house service connection (81,982 in nos.) in the city in two packages for optimum utilization of water supply schemes under smart cities mission for two packages at a cost of INR 14.50 Cr and INR 14.25 Cr.
Testimonial
After the installation of new internal plumbing, we have cleaner water and a continuous supply of water as compared to before
After the change of pipes which were more than 50 years old now, we have better quality of water and it is also rust free which was a major problem before.
As an ICE supplier I needed clean water for a better quality of ice, now I can produce that required quality of ice thanks to the new internal plumbing system
I was suffering from frequent diarrhea because of quality of water but now it is much better and my health has also improved
As a water treatment plant operator now the capacity of water supply has increased and also we can provide cleaner water to the population of the city and extended corporation.
