Jaipur: Additional chief secretary for Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) Subodh Agarwal has approved several projects that will help give water supply to residents living in areas around Jal Mahal and Bani Park.
Agarwal during a review meeting on Friday gave approval for the project for water pipeline connectivity to Kanak Ghati and surrounding hilly areas where the groundwater level is low.
“The colonies situated in the hilly area beyond the Jal Mahal of Jaipur city will now get water of Bisalpur dam and to provide water from there an amount of Rs 2.63 crores has been approve under the Urban Water Supply Scheme. A pipeline will be laid to connect these areas with the pump house at Brahmapuri and drinking water will be supplied to these areas,” said officials.
Officials further said that with this connectivity, residents will not have to depend on tankers for water supply.
Further, for low water pressure areas like Barodia Basti, Sen Colony and surrounding areas a three-kilometre-long pipeline will be laid to connect the areas with a high reservoir of 20 lakh litre capacity located at Amanishah head works. For this, Rs 4.28 crore has been approved.
Both these schemes were approved in the meeting of finance committee of Rajasthan Water Supply and Sewerage Management Board (RWSSMB) chaired by Agarwal.
“These drinking water system improvement works being done under the Urban Water Supply Scheme will provide a permanent solution to the problem of drinking water supply in Kanak Ghati, Devikhol areas and some areas of Bani Park,” said Agarwal.
