New Delhi: 100 Reverse Osmosis (RO) water-dispensing units would be installed in north and north-western parts of the city in three years as part of a public-private-partnership between the Delhi Jal Board and a power firm.
The DJB on Tuesday signed an agreement with Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) in this regard in the presence of the Lt Governor Najeeb Jung and senior officials of the Delhi government. As a part of the agreement, 10 RO units will be installed by March 2015, followed by 45 each in 2016 and 2017 to provide clean drinking water, an official release said.
"The capital cost and operations and maintenance cost will be borne by the TPDDL and DJB will facilitate the initiative by providing land and raw water. TPDDL will be responsible for the quality of water provided," it said.
The Lt Governor lauded the efforts of TPDDL and DJB for working together in enhancing water supply system in the city. "This government-corporate partnership will help to explore new opportunities to benefit society," Jung said appreciating TPDDL for assisting DJB, as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility.
