Project Purpose

The CW-MZ01 project, supported by the Asian Development Bank and implemented under the Jal Jeevan Mission, is a comprehensive initiative to ensure safe and reliable drinking water across District Mandi. The project aims to strengthen the existing 24 Nos. Water Supply Schemes by adding Rapid Sand Filtration and Slow Sand Filtration Technologies in the form of WTPs to avoid water contamination and high turbidity in the monsoon season. It also adds more structures for water collection for water flowing across various Nallah/Khadd/Rivers throughout the project area.

The project is set to benefit over 39,798 residents, significantly improving water accessibility and public health in the region.

Project Deliverables

  • Intake Well: Critical raw water sourcing structure constructed at the source, including comprehensive electromechanical installations for efficient water extraction.
  • Bore Well: A deep, narrow vertical shaft drilled into the ground to extract groundwater from underground aquifers for a consistent and reliable water supply.
  • Raw Water Rising Main (RWRM): Ensures effective transportation of raw water to the WTP through carefully selected GI and MSERW pipelines.
  • Water Treatment Plant (WTP): There are 11 different WTPs ranging from 35 KLD to 1.5 MLD for the project that utilize advanced Rapid Sand Filtration technology as well as Slow Sand Filtration technology for treatment, and include components such as Aerator, Clariflocculator, Filter House, Chlorination Facility, Chemical House, and a Clear Water Reservoir to guarantee the safety of potable water.
  • Clear Water Rising Main (CWRM): Efficiently transports treated water using high-pressure capable GI and MSERW pipelines, addressing current and future water demands.
  • Elevated Service Reservoirs (ESRs): Strategically positioned reservoirs operating via gravity to maintain adequate pressure and distribution throughout the network. The Capacity of the 89 tanks being constructed ranges from 10KL to 235KL
  • Distribution Network: Extensive GI pipeline network precisely designed to manage optimal water flow and pressure for household connections.
  • Pump Houses: The strategically located underground storage reservoirs are used for intermediate storage of treated water, facilitating continuous and uniform water supply across the distribution network by boosting it for further reach through the help of pumping machinery.
  • House Service Connections (HSC): Robust household connection infrastructure providing reliable, tap-controlled water access. A total of 8,247 connections are being executed in the project.
  • Electro Mechanical Works: The project requires us to install pumping machinery designed with high efficiency and reliability to manage varying water demands across extensive geographical and elevation ranges by helping in the movement of the fluid from one point to another.
