----------All the Municipal Commissioners are advised that the O & M of water supply systems in each of the ULB has to be made self reliant so as to provide Water Supply to the public without any interruptions and problems. Routine and preventive maintenance of the systems are therefore important.
Provision of funds for
maintenance of Water Supply Scheme inadequate quantum is the need in each of the Urban Local Bodies and this factor has often been neglected in the Budget estimates of the Urban Local Bodies. It is also to be borne in mind that the water supply tariff is subject to be revised every three years, so as to meet the upward increase of production costs, Current Consumption Charges and establishement charges including operation and maintenance charges. A model calculation is herewith enclosed for working out the production cost of water and water tariff every year. All Municipal Commissioner's / Corporation Commissioners are advised that the model calculations may be worked out every year before presentation of the municipal budget and the council appraised suitably in this regard.
