Under the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), the city strengthened solid  waste  management through the procurement of waste collection vehicles, promotion of source segregation, decentralized waste processing,  citizen  awareness  initiatives  and  the  construction  of  a sewage treatment plant. Water supply projects focused on ensuring safe and reliable drinking water through treatment facilities, improved distribution networks, and smart metering, while storm water drainage projects addressed urban flooding through drain development, rehabilitation and desilting works. The projects undertaken under WASH sector in SCM is as below:

| S. No.   |        | Total           | Total          | Completed       | Completed      | Implementation Stage   | Implementation Stage   |
