On the reform agenda, however, at 56% the current collection efficiency requires significant
improvement. Connection efficiency (as measured by connections / assessed properties) also is low at
62% and indicates scope for improvement.

7.5.3 Interventions – immediate priorities
Ongoing initiatives
a. Treatment plant – Krish-M is implementing a treatment plant of 7.3 MLD capacity. Works
are in progress and the project is expected to be completed shortly
b. Replacement of distribution line – Tenders have been received for works for replacement of
parts of distribution network replacement and the subject has been placed before the council.
Hogenakkal water supply project
The Hogenakkal Water supply project for addressing water supply requirements of Dharmapuri and
Krishnagiri district is expected to address requirements of Krishnagiri town as well. Regarding the
project, the following details are available to us based on reports provided to us by TWAD and
TNUIFSL. While we understand that the project is still under finalization and these numbers are
subject to change, they provide the broad details to base the range of Capital investment requirements:
a. Gross water supply – The project is assumed to provide 128 MLD supply at intermediate
stage and 160 MLD at ultimate stage. For Krishnagiri, the project envisages supply of 7.76
MLD at the ultimate stage. While our computation of overall demand works out to nearly
12.74 MLD by 2027 itself as per our estimates, based on a norm of 135 LPCD, we have not
provided for any additional capital investment for the same.
b. Connections – The project envisages servicing 6786 connections.
