The work on the third unit of the Chandu Budhera water
treatment plant is set to start soon. The Haryana Urban Development Authority
(Huda) had floated tenders for the work.
According to officials, the work
on the unit is likely to take off by end of March. The Rs. 38-crore project is
scheduled to be completed in 18 months.
“The contract will be awarded
after bids will be opened on Tuesday. The work will start within 20 days,” said
S Piplani, engineer, the Huda.
The total capacity of the plant
is 110 MGD.
Another water treatment plant of
60 MGD capacity has been made operational at Basai village.
The project would enhance Huda’s
water supply capacity in the next 18 months — the deadline set for the
completion of the work.
Meanwhile, the work on the second
unit of the plant is already in progress and is likely to be completed in June.
“The deadline for the completion of the second unit with a capacity of 22 MGD
is June. We have instructed the contractor not to miss the deadline,” said the
engineer.
The work on a 22-MGD unit
completed in last August. “After completion of all the three units, Huda would
be able to supply adequate water to the city. It will have 66 MGD water
supplying capacity at its new plant at Chandu Budhera. We already have 60 MGD
water supplying strength at the old plant in Basai,” said Huda administrator
Praveen Kumar.
The new plant was set up to meet
the rising demand of the new upcoming sectors (58 to 115). “We are currently
getting 8 to 9 MGD water supply from the first unit,” added Kumar.
