UDHAMPUR Mar 31: In a major boost to water supply in Ramnagar town, the PHE Department added 2 lakh gallons filtered water to the existing available water, raising the availability of water to cover the present shortfall of 11 lakh gallon per day, which will be a great relief to the inhabitants of town in summer.
The Project Report for improvement & augmentation of water supply to Ramnagar Town for an amount of Rs. 7.44 crore was formulated to cater to a demand of water for a design period of 30 years, keeping the base year of the project 2011-12. But due to irregular shutdown in electricity and huge turbidity in Nallah, the water supply mostly remained disrupted in rainy days.
As per the new proposal, there will be a net saving of Rs. 30.0 lakh to 40.00 lakh per annum for electrical charges, maintenance cost on account of Mechanical Machinery and operational staff. It was proposed to construct a filtration plant with capacity of 10000 GPH, 30000 glns GSR at Gharat Vati, 50000 glns OHT at Ghas mandi and 1.00 lacs Glns GSR, balancing Reservoir at Ward No. 10 along with the other allied works, 02 Nos. G/main from Satyan Nallah and Amroh Spring to be laid for augmentation of 5.17 lacs gallons of water.
