PROJECT COMPONENTS :

A. Water Supply

In all the 16 ULBs, the water supply distribution scheme envisages the following main components:

• 52 concrete overhead reservoirs with a capacity ranging from 450 to 675 cu.m

• Iron elimination plants in 3 ULBs (Jhargram, Jalpaiguri & Dinhata), where the chemical analysis was available, The necessity of iron elimination plants in the other ULBs will be considered on the basis of the chemical analysis which will be supplied by MED as soon as possible.

• Distribution networks (diameter of pipe lines ranging from 100mm to 400 mm) with an estimated uncovered area of 60 sq.m.

The total cost of the water supply systems for the 16 ULBs, to be covered by the soft loan has been roughly estimated to be Rs. 1235 Million (Rs. 123.5 crores).

B. Solid Waste Management

The Solid Waste Management concerns all the 16 selected ULBs.
Taking into account the total amount of the soft loan and the estimated cost of the water supply system, the Indian side has indicated the following priorities for the Solid Waste Management:

• Improvement of the collecting system

• Treatment of the hospital wastes

• Preparation of pilot sanitary fields

• Construction of pilot compost plants in Bankura and Jalpaiguri
  
  Total cost of the project – Rs. 305 Million (Rs. 30.5 crores)
