The Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department issued Government Order (Ms.) Number 42, dated 4 March 2022, granting administrative sanction for five new Multi Village Water Supply Schemes under the Jal Jeevan Mission. The schemes cover rural habitations in Thiruvarur, Ranipet, Mayiladuthurai, Tiruchirappalli and Tirunelveli districts, at a total project cost of Rs.1,473.16 crore.
What the document does
Government Order (Ms.) Number 42 of the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department authorises five combined water supply schemes proposed by the Mission Director, Jal Jeevan Mission and Managing Director, Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board. The schemes had received approval from the State Level Scheme Sanctioning Committee before administrative sanction was granted.
The approval covers:
- 667 habitations in Thiruvarur District.
- Sembedu and 88 habitations in Ranipet District, using the Palar River as the source.
- 32 habitations in Mayiladuthurai District.
- 109 habitations in Tiruchirappalli District.
- Gangaikondan and 21 other habitations in Tirunelveli District, using the Tamiraparani River as the source.
Approved cost and funding
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department approved a total project cost of Rs.1,473.16 crore. The funding consists of:
- Government of India share of Rs.581.48 crore.
- Government of Tamil Nadu share of Rs.771.73 crore.
- Community contribution of Rs.7.38 crore.
- Centage charges of Rs.112.57 crore.
The total Government of Tamil Nadu contribution, including centage charges, is Rs.884.30 crore.
Changes made before approval
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department revised the proposal before granting sanction. The main changes were:
- Operation and maintenance provision was reduced from five years to one year.
- Current consumption charges were removed from the project cost because they can be met from water charges.
- Centage charges and additional costs arising from price adjustment may be borne by the State Government.
The Rasipuram Combined Water Supply Scheme in Namakkal District was part of the original group of six proposals. Because that scheme also included urban local bodies, it was proposed for convergence with AMRUT 2.0 and was dealt with separately. It is not one of the five schemes sanctioned here.
Relevance to property owners and buyers
Government Order (Ms.) Number 42 concerns administrative approval and funding for public water supply infrastructure. It does not contain provisions changing land ownership, title, registration, land classification or development rights. Owners and residents in the listed habitations may be affected through the planned water supply works, community contribution and future recovery of current consumption costs through water charges.
