Fields of Public Private Partnership
RO based small WTPs • 2. Water Supply Schemes • 3. Sewerage Schemes
RO BASED SMALL WTPs
TDS/Uranium affected areas • water scarcity areas • to meet with the minimum drinking & cooking water requirements. RO based small WTPs have been installed in:
This PPP model is procured on “Concession model” principal where the system is build & operated (for 7 years) through competitive bidding & is then transferred to the owner i.e DWSS • No other Private operator is allowed in the village for providing drinking water supply. • GPWSC or any other agency can, however, supply water for other purposes. Procurement
Endeavoring for the maximum participation of the community through intensive IEC activities. • Regular upkeep of the RO Plant. • Proper disposal of reject water into nearby deep bore well/pond Duties of service provider • Selling potable water at plant site at all times @ Rs 2/- per20 ltr. Jerry Can/ bucket

Successful And Satisfying
Water Supply Schemes
Part-1 O&M of Cluster of Schemes which are operated and maintained by DWSS
1st Party : DWSS • 2nd Party : Contractor • Procured on bi- party Agreement basis
Overseeing all aspects of O&M performed by contractor. • Payment of electricity bills. • Billing & Collection of water Revenue. • Duties of 1st Party i.e DWSS

Since the recovery ratio has remained the same(0.34) therefore some punitive/ motivational measures are required to be incorporated in the agreement for improving the ratio closest to 1, to make the system self sustainable
Part-2 Schemes handed over to GPWSC
Generally the O&M of such schemes is satisfactory but some times (in very few cases) due certain unavoidable reasons, the GPWSCs fail to run the schemes successfully. This PPP model has been developed to deal with such situations.
Lack of interest of some • GPWSC members • Groupism in Village hindering • Sustainability. • Lack of Technical know how. • Non availability of technical man power in and around the village. • Spoilt by free bees in the past, hence avoidance for payment of monthly water bills Some Identified Reasons

Satisfaction level not satisfied fully satisfied Case Study Village Malkomajra (IDA) Distt. Fatehgarh Sahib Problem identified: Groupism (non payment of water bills, compelling chairman to pay from his pocket)
Though the model seem to successful but since it has been introduced only recently it thus still need to be evaluated comprehensively.
