Gurugram: HSVP To Extend Water Supply To Six Newly Developed Sectors In Sohna | Details

The Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) has announced plans to construct two water boosting stations on both sides of Sohna Road to supply 4-5 million litres of water per day to residents of nearby group housing societies.

These condominiums, located in six newly developed sectors, currently rely on groundwater or water tankers due to the absence of a potable water supply in the area.

“We have finalised a proposal to supply treated water to residential sectors from the HSVP water treatment plant in Ghamroj, from where water is supplied to the existing Sohna town. A team comprising HSVP officials is working on the proposal which has been sent to headquarters for approval. At least 27mld water is treated in Ghamroj,” said Vaishali Singh, administrator, HSVP, Gururgam, according to the HT report. 

According to HSVP officials, the 27 MLD water treatment plant in Ghamroj village treats raw canal water from the NCR channel and supplies it to Sohna town and Rojka Meo, located 14 km and 20 km away, respectively. Currently, HSVP is receiving only 4 MLD of its allotted 8.73 MLD share.

“It has been proposed that the balance share of water which is not available by HSVP can be provided through a separate pipeline from the plant in Ghamroj with work being executed by HSVP or funds being borne by the authority,” official said.

Singh said HSVP officials visited the water treatment plant and the residential sectors earlier this week, where they also met with developers to discuss the proposed water supply system.

“The authority is looking for one acre plots on both sides of the highway to build underground water tanks from where water will be supplied to these housing societies and neighbourhoods. It is possible that the green belts could be used to build tanks over which green area can be developed. Efforts are being made to ensure 6-7mld water can be supplied to the residents within a year,” she said, according to the HT report.

She said that if land is not available along the highway, efforts will be made to identify suitable land within the sectors, adding that some licensed land designated for infrastructure could be used to build underground tanks and water boosting stations.
