Chapter ñ10 Final Report: Gudiyattam Municipality
10.1 PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE - IMPROVEMENT NEEDS
In chapter -6 the problems and issues of the physical infrastructure as well as social
infrastructure sector has been identified. Also the projects identified by the
municipality for the following sectors which are mostly curative measures in the
particular sector and not for the future needs. Here it is discussed about the
shortcomings in the projects identified by the municipality or by the different
agencies i.e. Municipality, TWAD board etc. and discuss about the improvement
needs, future proposals and funding pattern.
10.1.1 Water Supply:
1. Improvement Needs:
The frequent bursts and leaks in the main from Palar Head Works and Goundya River
is causing problem. Though the municipality has meted out temporary repairs, a
permanent solution is required for an effective distribution of water supply to the
town. The lines were mostly laid more than 30 years before and they need
replacement. So there should be a comprehensive study for effective solution for
water supply provision and rezoning.
2. Water Supply Proposals
The TWAD Board has estimated additionally 3 numbers of infiltration well , 3 open
well , 15 deep bore well ,and distribution line 42.336 Km of sizes varying 90 to 140 mm
PVC 6 KSC km and 2 Service Reservoir. The total cost of the estimate around 5.90
Crores.
The main draw back of the proposal by the TWAD board is in terms of supply side as
they had proposed the supply of water to 70 % population through House Service
Connection and 40 LPCD for 30 % population through Public Fountain at the
intermediate year 2024.But, there has no further improvement on increasing water
supply to 135 lpcd, because the yield of both Palar and Goundanya river was an
reducing stage only.
As per TWAD board proposal, the water demand at intermediate year 14.26MLD,
they proposed additional infiltration wells, bore wells and open wells are met upto
11.59 MLD.The Ultimate demand shall be fulfilled using combined Mettur scheme. The
Detailed Project Report for this scheme is under preparation by TWAD Board. The
water allotment details from Mettur scheme for various municipalities are shown in
Figure 10.1
The existing Transmission line already exceeds its design period, the replacement of
transmission line at a cost of Rs.1.72 Crores.
As of now, there has no bulk meters system in exiting system as well as proposed
scheme also for the leakage detection. The Bulk metering system required in head
works and service reservoir will therefore have to be implemented. The System was
taken up to install 7 Nos, at a cost of Rs. 21Lacs.
