The project to lift water from the Babai River to Tulsipur has been extended by an additional six months, according to officials. Delays are attributed to pending electricity and household connections, as well as the contractor halting work due to rising material costs. The project aims to provide a reliable water supply to Tulsipur municipality.

  • The Tulsipur Water Supply Users and Sanitation Committee project, initiated three years ago, has a revised completion timeline due to ongoing construction delays.
  • The total cost of the project stands at Rs 568 million, with most physical infrastructure, including water tanks and pipeline laying, nearing completion.
  • Once operational, the system is expected to supply 100 liters of water per second, benefiting areas like New Bus Park and Ranijaruwa.
  • Efforts are underway to protect water sources and prevent illegal excavation, with sedimentation-based filtration improving water quality.
  • The committee is also implementing modern services including GIS mapping, a mobile app, and plans for smart meters for transparent billing.
