XXI. WATER SUPPLY & SANITATION - Planning

24. Captive power plants at WTP.(Rs. 300.00 lakh)
Over 400 Under Ground Reservoir and Booster Pumping Station are being
maintained. Where problem of low voltage/electric failure is chronic, diesel
generators are being provided.
To ensure un-interrupted power supply, provision for installation & commissioning of
adequate capacity generator sets has been made in a limited manner during the
current year due to limited resources.
There are three different proposals for installation of DG sets namely at Ranney
wells Okhla Water Works and Delhi Cantt. BPS for providing captive power supply.
These are essentially required as power failures at these installations adversely
effect the water supply in South Delhi Areas where there is a acute shortage of
water.
Accordingly a provision of Rs. 150 lac has been retained in R.B.E 2003-04 An
outlay of Rs. 300.00 lakh is aproved for Annual Plan 2004-05.
25. Augmentation of water supply for Urban Village.(Rs. 300.00 lakh)
Delhi Jal Board is providing water supply in 126 Urban Villages. These villages are
expending vertically and also commercialization is taking place, which is causing
extra burden on the water supply system. For improvement and strengthening of
water supply system in these villages, more tube wells, deep bore hand pumps,
laying of water mains and construction of Under Ground Reservoir, Booster
Pumping Station are being done.
DJB is supplying water in all the urban villages situated within the Delhi jurisdiction.
These villages are expending , industrial as well as commercial activity is also taking
place which also causes extra burden on the W/Supply. Their water demand in
these villages is being met through piped W/S wherever available, sinking of
T/Wells,DBHPs and construction of underground reservoirs etc.
