Malkapur implemented India's first 24/7 water supply scheme in 2010, sourcing water from the Koyana river. The scheme provides over 5,600 connections with 110 liters per capita per day (lpcd) of water. It was designed to meet the needs of a projected 2021 population of 61,000. Upgrades from previous intermittent schemes included new pipelines, water treatment infrastructure, and an automated meter reading system. The successful public-private partnership project has resulted in many benefits like reduced water wastage, electricity savings, and better water quality and services.

2. INTRODUCTION
 MALKAPUR,
first town with
continuous water
supply scheme
in ASIA

3. 24*7 Water Supply Scheme
 Implemented by MJP and MNP
 Commissioned in 2010
 Koyana river as a perennial source
 5600 connections getting continuous
water supply with110 lpcd
 Sustainable scheme for projected
population of 61000 in 2037

4. History of Water supply in Malkapur
 Combined water supply scheme for
Malkapur and Nadlapur in 1988 (40 lpcd)
 New scheme for Malkapur in 2005 (55 lpcd)
 24*7 water supply was suggested by MJP in
2006 (75 lpcd)

5. Additions in the revised scheme
(2006)
 Existing rising mains, pumps and reservoir
 New distribution network
 With HDPE and MDPE pipes
 Automated meter reading (AMR)
 Cost of the project was increased

6. Assets of the scheme
 Pump (150 HP vertical turbine)
 WTP and twin MBR ( capacity:15 lakh
litre )
 1 GSR ( capacity: 1.5 lakh litre )
 4 ESR
( 2 of capacity 2.5 lakh litre,
1 of capacity 3.75 lakh litre,
1 of capacity 1.5 lakh litre )

7. Pipe types
 Rising main uses DI (ductile iron) pipes
of 400 mm diameter
 Distribution network has HDPE pipes
 Connections from main line to home
has MDPE pipes

8. Scheme design parameters
 Rising main and ESRs were designed for 55
lpcd assuming 12 hours of pumping
 Distribution network was designed for 30
years
 ESR capacity was designed for ultimate
stage of 15 years
 Designed for residual pressure of 9m
 Peak factor of 2.5 instead of earlier value of
3

9. Operational aspects
 Maintained by MNP
 Pump is operated for about 14-16 hours
 Outlet valves of MBR and ESR are
always kept open
 All other valve operations are automated

10. Automated ESR inlet valve
 Sensors were installed in ESR
 Inlet valve opens partially when water
level drops to 2/3 of ESRs capacity
 Inlet valve opens completely when water
level drops to 1/3 of ESRs capacity
 No need of valveman to operate the
distribution network

11. Automatic meter reading (AMR)
 AMR meters are installed
for every connection
 Effective water auditing
 Checks excessive usage by
consumers

12. High Density Polyethylene Pipes
 100m long cables
 Fewer fittings due to pipe flexibility
 Enhanced properties
 Pipes are joined using electrofusion

13. Cost of water
 Telescopic rates were:
Rs. 4.5/kl upto 12600 litres/month
Rs. 7/kl 12601 to 22500 litres/month
Rs. 10/kl thereafter
 Higher rates for commercial sections
 15% discount for household consuming less
than 55 lpcd
 10% discount for paying bill before due date
 New connections cost Rs.12000
 Free for BPL

14. Benefits resulting from the project
 Improvement in delivery time and
services
 Less wastage of water
 Electricity savings
 Better water quality
 Reduction in O&M cost
 Simplification of billing procedure

15. Awards
 ‘Prime Ministers Award for Excellence in
Public Administration’ for the year 2009-10
 ‘National Urban Award’ for the year 2010

16. Conclusion
The proper & effective combination of high
political will power, successful
Government Machinery & public
contribution, has yielded excellent and
successful 24x7 Water Supply Scheme,
which is a path finder & mile stone for all
water supply schemes which are
proposed to be executed in future.
