After water treatment, quality is checked to see if it is safe for domestic purposes & chlorinated, stored for supply
Extra Chlorine known as ‘Residual Chlorine’ of dose 0.2-0.5 mg/l (milligrams per litre) is ensured in water to keep it safe from contamination during conveyance

Treated water is now supplied to cities by gravity/pumping
Distribution reservoirs in cities based on demand & topography receive treated water & distribute to zones/localities, where the actual supply to houses happen through designed network ensuring equal distribution

System consist of Reservoirs, storage tanks, pumps, pipes, valves, hydraulic appurtenances, meters, taps
Requires huge electric energy, wide network of engineers, waterman, network attendants, customer care etc
Efforts r big & that is why end user’s responsibility to save water

Water bill calc – Domestic sample, W/O borewell in premises
Example 1 - 8000 consumption
Upto 8000 litres – Flat rate of 7/1000 litres = ₹56
Meter Charges = ₹30 (one can choose to pay full meter charge during installation)
Sanitary charges = ₹14
Total – ₹100

Example 2 – 15000 litres consumption
Upto 8000 = ₹56
Upto 25000 = 7000 x 11 = ₹77
Meter Charges = ₹50
Sanitary charges = (56+77) * 0.25 = ₹33
Total = ₹216
Upto 8000 = ₹56
Upto 25000 = 7000 x 11 = ₹77
Meter Charges = ₹50
Sanitary charges = (56+77) * 0.25 = ₹33
Total = ₹216
Example 3 – 30000 litres consumption
Upto 8000 = ₹56
Upto 25000 = 17000 x 11 = ₹187
above 25000 = 5000 x 26 = ₹130
Meter Charges = ₹75
Sanitary charges = (56+187+)130 * 0.25 = ₹93
Total = ₹541
Upto 8000 = ₹56
