Final Report TNUDP III<br />
measures have been suggested. The water supply demand calculated by the TWAD Board for<br />
the intermediate population (2024) is 6.1 MLD and Ultimate year (2039) is 7.32 MLD.<br />
The town is experiencing high population growth as the town has a high potential for industrial<br />
growth. Therefore, the total demand of water supply calculated for intermediate period is 8.31<br />
MLD and ultimate period is 12.48 MLD.<br />
The present storage capacity of the service reservoirs is of 13.5 Ll. Therefore the storage<br />
requirement will be 12.48/3 = 4.16 MLD < 1.35 MLD (existing). Hence, additional storage of 1.42<br />
ML is required for intermediate period and 2.81 ML, required for the ultimate period.<br />
iv) Proposals<br />
The source proposed for this project is River Cauvery near Kodumudi. The proposed head works<br />
will be located just on the upstream of the existing headworks of Muthur-Kangeyam CWSS. It is<br />
proposed to draw 6.11 MLD for the intermediate stage and 7.32 MLD for the ultimate stage for<br />
Vellakoil alone.<br />
The salient features of the proposal are the head works, pump sets, raw water pumping main,<br />
treatment plant, clear water reservoir, clear water pump sets, pump house, Booster station,<br />
Laying of distribution system (feeder mains only) for 23 km and Construction of 4 OHTs at<br />
Melagoundanpalayam colony (1Ll), Muthur road (5Ll), Sivanathapuram (3 Ll) and Pudur road (2<br />
Ll). The per capita cost for this project is Rs.2926.00 and the cost per 1000 liters is Rs.8.05<br />
(schedule of rates 2007-08 + 10% price escalation).<br />
The installation cost of the water supply improvement scheme is Rs.1199.12 lakhs. The Annual<br />
Maintenance cost is Rs.49.00 lakhs.<br />

of individual disposal in the town is through septic tanks, low cost sanitation units and through<br />
public / community toilets.<br />
ii) Demand Assessment<br />
In order to improve the sanitation in the town, Under Ground Sewerage System is necessary with<br />
treatment facilities at terminal points.<br />
iii) Proposals<br />
The field survey for UGSS has been done by TWAD Board. Identification STP site is in progress.<br />
The total estimated cost of the proposed Under Ground Sewerage System for Vellakoil<br />
municipality is Rs.3300.00 lakhs. The Operation and Maintenance cost will be is Rs. 82.00<br />
lakhs.<br />
5.1.3 STORM WATER DRAINS<br />
i) Existing Status<br />

length of the existing road length in the town is about 174.50 km. The percentage coverage of<br />
storm water drains is about 11%.<br />
