Two new motor pumps were set to be installed at the Chandu Budhera Water Treatment Plant to improve the raw water supply to the Basai plant, addressing an ongoing shortage. The pumps would boost 25 MLD each, while one would be kept on standby for GURGAON.
Two new motor pumps will be installed at the Chandu Budhera Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to boost the raw water supply to the Basai treatment plant. The move is aimed at addressing the shortage of raw water supply at the Basai WTP, an official said. Earlier this year, the authority had laid a pipeline to supply raw water from Chandu Budhera to Basai plants.
“Presently, the machinery deployed has insufficient head to pump water effectively to the Basai plant, necessitating the upgrade. We will be installing two motors which will have the capacity to boost 25 MLD water each, while one machinery will be kept on standby in case of an emergency. We have prepared the estimate for the installation of the motor pump. We will soon float the tender for the same once we get the approval from the authority,” a senior official of GMDA said. The project is estimated to cost GMDA Rs. 1.6 crore.
Currently, 270 MLD of water is being supplied in the city from the Basai plant. Higher head values indicate that a pump can move water to greater heights, which is essential for transferring water between different elevations in a water supply system, the official said.
