In a major step towards improving the water supply system, the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) of Assam has invited tenders for a massive project for water supply in various cities of the state. The initiative is aimed at ensuring safe and reliable drinking water availability so that the population of urban and semi-urban areas can get clean water. The project aims to modernise Assam’s water supply system so that it can withstand the increasing water pressure of the growing population in the future.
Construction and Maintenance of Water Supply Infrastructure
The project will design, construct, operate and maintain water supply infrastructure. This will include construction of facilities such as pumping stations, filtration plants, distribution networks and reservoirs. The scheme is in sync with the Assam government’s long-term plan to improve public health and hygiene. This will not only increase water availability but will also improve hygiene, which will benefit millions of people living in urban areas of Assam.
Increasing water demand in urban areas
Due to the growing urban population of Assam, the demand for potable water is constantly increasing. This project is part of the state government’s plan to modernize the water supply systems and ensure equitable access to water to all areas. This will not only solve the water crisis but will also improve the quality of life of citizens residing in the cities of Assam. The government aims to eliminate the uneven supply of water and ensure access to clean water to every citizen.
Tender process and project success
The government has invited tenders for this project from qualified contractors and companies who can complete the project within the timeline and efficiently. Once the project is completed, it will not only improve public health but will also boost economic growth and improve the quality of life of thousands of residents. Through this project, the Assam government is trying to show that it takes its commitment to water supply and sanitation seriously and is taking concrete steps in this direction.
