RO water for Delhi slums, resettlement colonies

NEW DELHI: About 8,000-odd residents of SavdaGhevda's slums and resettlement colonies will soon have access to subsidized reverse osmosis (RO) treated water. Delhi Jal Board is setting up a pilot project under which it will provide RO water to the residents for Rs 3-6 per 20 litres. "This area is currently fed through tubewells and tankers. We are often unable to meet the full demand through tankers and would like to replace the system. Under the new project, we will dig one tubewell and treat it through RO. We will then set up kiosks, like those installed at milk booths, to dispense water. If someone purchases water from the plant itself, it will cost them Rs 3 per 20 litres. If it is bought from any other kiosk, it will cost Rs 6 per 20 litres. This will cover the cost of transporting the water from the plant to the kiosks," said a senior DJB official. According to sources, the pilot project will cover about 8,000 people and eventually cover a population of about 25,0
