Existing Water Supply Arrangements:

The present water supply arrangements for all the extended areas are as furnished below.

Area Source of Existing Supply Supplied Qty From Existing Source (MLD)
Kurichi Siruvani 5.26
Aliyar 4.50
Kuniamuthur Siruvani 4.546
Aliyar 4.50
Thudiyalur ,Vellaikinar ,Chinna vedampatty,Vilankuruchi,Saravanampatty and Kalappatty Pillur-I 22.962
Total   41.768

The present per capita water supply is 40-70 lpcd. Frequency of supply is once in 8 to 15 days.

Necessity of the Scheme :

To enhance the present supply level to 135 lpcd in the above extended areas this proposal is formulated. The existing source of supply will be sufficient for immediate requirement in 2018 however the source augmentation for future need is being done by the TWAD Board for the entire Corporation area. Based on the proposal identified in the water supply feasibility report and the phasing of proposal, the improvements for water supply distribution system to Kurichi, Kuniyamuthur, Thudiyalur, Vellikinaur, Villankuriuchi, Chinnavedampatti, Saravanampati & Kalapatty area has to been taken on priority addressing the above needs. To provide equitable distribution of water and to improve insufficient storage facilities, this detailed project report has been prepared for necessary infrastructure in 8 extended areas of Coimbatore Corporation.

Detailed Description of Proposal:

Source

The existing sources of Siruvani, Pillur reservoir and River Aliyar are continued to be utilized with existing schemes till 2018. The water supply to be provided from the Existing water supply system to the project area till Pillur III is commissioned is 90.37 MLD. The Proposal for Feeder Mains from existing sources to the MBRs will be taken up separately by Coimbatore Corporation and not under the scope of this DPR. Pillur III scheme to Coimbatore Corporation to meet Intermediate & ultimate demand with River Bhavani as source is under investigation.

Feeder Mains

Feeder Mains from Siruvani WSS to Press Enclave MBR and Pillayarpuram MBR (Zones 3 & 4).

Feeder Mains from Siruvani WSS to Press Enclave MBR and Pillayarpuram MBR (Zones 3 & 4).

The quantity of 35.02 MLD is proposed to be tapped near Kovaipudur Pirivu in Coimbatore to Siruvani Road from the existing mains 500 mm CI and 450 mm CI- (2 Nos) now feeding Gandhi park GLSR, Kurichi and Kuniamuthur areas and let into the proposed 15 LL capacity Sump near the tapping point. From the sump, the quantity will be pumped by means of vertical turbine pumpsets of duty 12161 lpm x 96 m (2 Nos working in parallel and 1 No. standby) through 600 mm/ 450 mm dia DI pipes to the proposed 15 LL MBR at Press Enclave(Kuniyamthur) and 20 LL MBR at Pillayarpuram(Kuichi).

Feeder Main from Kurichi Kuniamuthur CWSS to Pillayarpuram MBR( Zone 3)

After upgrading the existing Kurichi Kuniyamuthur CWSS from Intermediate stage of 9 Mld to Ultimate stage. The quantity of 11.25 MLD is proposed to be tapped from the existing sump at Kurichi and pumped to the MBR at Pillayarpuram through 450 mm dia DI pipes.
