SHILLONG: The much delayed Phase III of the Greater Shillong Water Supply Scheme (GSWSS) is 70 percent complete and the new PHE minister will hold a review meeting soon.
Minister Samlin Malngiang said he would ensure that the project is completed during his tenure. However, he pointed out that the project cost would escalate due to inordinate delays.
The minister will hold the review meeting with officials in his department as well as the PWD minister to discuss the issue of laying distribution pipes after the Assembly session.
The Phase III of the water supply project will provide up to 135 litres of water per head per day to a population of 5.12 lakh.
Phases I and II generate 51.30 million liters per day (MLD), including 34.05 MLD under Phase I and 17.25 MLD under Phase II.
GSWSS (Phase III) is being implemented to augment water supply to areas covered under GSWSS (Phases I and II) and cover the remaining three urban centres — Pynthorumkhrah, Nongmynsong and Madanrting.
The third phase was sanctioned in 2008 with a funding of Rs 193.49 crore.
