38. Amtoor Keshava Nagar & Amtoor junction water supply scheme of Golthamajalu Grama Panchayath

40. Amtur Keshava Nagar • Prior to metering • 25,000 Ltr water Tank filled twice a day. • Still people not satisfied about supply of water. • Houses in upper reaches did not get enough water.

41. After metering • 25,000 Ltr water tank filled once in two days • 24x7 water supply ensured. • Households in upper reaches get enough water. • All stake holders are happy.

43. Both these Amtoor junction & Amtoor Keshava Nagar are different habitations with widely scattered houses. The existing scheme is old one. Prior to metering of the connections storage tank of 25,000 Ltrs. was not enough to cater a days need. Lot of pilferage was observed. After the metered connections 24X7 water supply is made available to the habitations even though the tank is filled once in two days.

44. It is a common notion that O & M of water supply, drinking water supply is always a loss business. But in the above case studies we see the reverse of it. This is due to farsightedness, metering the connections, strict enforcement of rules, awareness among the public.
