(c) the details of the per day Ganga drinking water supplied in litres along with the location of the drinking water supply plants?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI (SHRI V. SOMANNA)

(a)  to  (c)    Ghaziabad  Municipal  Corporation  has  informed  that  the  residential  areas  namely Seemant Vihar, Aashapushp Vihar, Neelam Vihar and other colonies in Sector-14, Kaushambi fall under the Vasundhara Zone of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. At present, about 55 Million Litres per Day (MLD) of treated water is being supplied daily from the Water Treatment Plant located in Pratap Vihar to meet the drinking water requirements of the area. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has prescribed the acceptable limit of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in drinking water as 500 mg/L,  whereas  recent  monitoring  and  testing  has  found  the  TDS  levels  in  the  drinking  water supplied in Ghaziabad to be in the range of 90-100 mg/L, which is well within the prescribed limits.

Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation has received a proposal from the Secretary of the Aashapushp Vihar Co-operative Housing Society, Kaushambi, Sector-14, Ghaziabad requesting an increase in the supply of Ganga drinking water. However, as informed by Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation, at  present,  Uttar  Pradesh  Jal  Nigam  is  providing  about  55  Million  Litres  per  Day  (MLD)  of drinking  water  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  Vasundhara  Zone,  which  includes  Kaushambi Sector-14 and hence no further augmentation of supply of Ganga water is planned as of now.

As informed by AMRUT Division, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Water being a state subject, management and maintaining the quality of water and water bodies as per the applicable standards (BIS 10500:2012 standards for drinking water and for waste water quality norms  set  by  CPCB)  in  urban  areas  are  the  responsibility  of  State  Government/  ULBs. AMRUT/AMRUT 2.0 does not prescribe separate guidelines  for  water  quality.  However,  the Mission guidelines advocates to monitor and ensure compliance with water quality standards in urban areas.
