Verna Ind Estate to get potable water
PTI, PANAJI | 11 July 2013 19:55 IST
Goa's biggest industrial estate at Verna village will get sufficient potable water within two-three months with the state government today approving a project to treat raw water and supply it to this enclave.
Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar today held meeting with officials of Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), state water resources department and state public works department to chalk out a plan to treat raw water and provide it to the industrial estate.
The Verna estate, which has a requirement of 5-8 MLD water, is currently fed with only two MLD, leading to acute water scarcity in the enclave.
Parrikar said a filtration plant and pipeline costing Rs 52 crore would be set up in the industrial estate within two-three months which will fulfil the requirement of the units located here.
Water resources department has diverted 30 MLD water to Verna of which 10 MLD would be provided to the industrial estate and 10 MLD for fertiliser producing Zuari Industries Limited and rest for villages located around Verna, he said.
The state government has decided to provide raw water for ZIL without filtering it and the company management will set up their private filtration plant.
