Introduction :-
The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation (MoDWS) and the World Bank
have jointly developed the Neer Nirmal Pariyojana – Rural Water Supply and
Sanitation Project for Low Income States (RWSS-LIS) with an objective to
improve piped water supply and sanitation services for selected rural
communities in the target states through decentralized service delivery systems
.
The project is also implemented in Kamrup (M) districts, Assam for
covering two nos of Block named as Dimoria and Chandrapur Block . Name of the Project in Kamrup(M)
district for Water Supply is “Composite Water Supply
Scheme for sustainability &Quality in Chandrapur and Dimoria Block”. The
Project for Kamrup(M) is divided in two Zones. The Zone-1 is for Chandrapur
Block and Zone –II is for Dimoria Block for supply of Drinking Water in the
Project area. For implementing the project two treatment plants are already
constructed in the respective Zones.
On 8th March/2019, partial
commissioning was done in Chandrapur Project under RWSSP-LIS with 921 nos. of House Service
Connections in Tatimara Zone and simultaneously work is going on in the other
zones of Chandrapur Block. Each House Service Connection consists of a
stand-post, a water meter and 10 meter PP-R pipe. The location of the
stand-post and water meter should be fixed in consultation of household owner for
smooth operation of the services. In order to ascertain the same, phase wise
survey will be conducted i.e. Pre Connection Survey and Post Connection survey.
