BMC to prepare report on water needs and supply-related detailsStaff Reporter | Bhopal
In view of outsourcing the water supply work, Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) would prepare a report on daily water needs of the city.
Details of total number of tap connections required with the ratio of present population, water storing capacity, sources and availability of water and infrastructure related information will be included in it.
Addressing a meeting in this regard, Municipal Commissioner Manish Singh directed officials of the Water Works Department to share the details with Crisil Infrastructure Ltd _ the Mumbai-based firm appointed by the BMC to draft offer letter, terms and conditions related document for inviting tenders prior to handing over the water supply work to the private company.
The officials have been asked to finish the task in a week's time, so that the Request For Proposal (RFP) could be prepared before floating the tenders.
It may be noted here that on coming of Narmada water to the city under the central funded Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), the BMC aims to provide round the clock water supply in the city.
However, a private firm would be given the task of carrying out the water supply work. Despite an uncertain amount of time remaining for Narmada water to come to the city, the Corporation is addressing the water distribution related issues in advance.
