AMC invests in Water Infrastructure for 56 lakh residents by 2045

By the year 2045, the western regions of Bopal-Ghuma, Ambli, and the areas along SP Ring Road and SG Road within the civic jurisdiction are projected to house a population of 56 lakh people. To cater to their water needs, an estimated 1,022 million litres per day (MLD) of potable water will be required. In anticipation of this surge in demand, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is strategically planning additional infrastructure.

Recently, the AMC acquired a parcel of land measuring 1 lakh square metres (10 hectares) adjacent to the Jaspur water treatment plant. This acquisition, made at a cost of Rs 87.2 million from the state government, is intended for the establishment of a new 400 MLD water treatment plant. The new facility is earmarked to serve the burgeoning population in the aforementioned areas.

According to Devang Dani, the chairman of AMC's standing committee, the projected population growth is expected to reach 34 lakh in areas such as Ghatlodia, Gota, Thaltej, Bodakdev, Vejalpur, Jodhpur, Sarkhej, Maktampura, Ambli, and Shilaj in the coming years. The water requirements for these regions are estimated to be 620.12 MLD in 2030 and are projected to rise to 1,022.77 MLD by 2045. In response to this, the AMC has initiated construction work to enhance the capacity of the Jaspur water treatment plant from 400 MLD to 600 MLD.

To meet the future water needs of the city, the AMC had previously sanctioned Rs 910 million for the installation of a new main water trunk line in the areas adjacent to the affordable housing zone along the western sections of SP Ring Road and SG Road. Additionally, a new water trunk line will be laid from Kotarpur to Pramukh Swami Road in Motera.

As part of the ongoing infrastructure development, a 2,200 mm diameter trunk line with a capacity of 400 MLD has been laid from the Jaspur water treatment plant to the 30-lakh-litre overhead tank at Vaishnodevi Devi. This tank will be connected to three water lines, ensuring a robust water supply system for the growing population.
