Water Supply to Porvorim is set for marked improvement with significant infrastructure projects at various stages of implementation.
Executed by M/s. Wibro Construction, a crucial project involves construction of a 650m³ overhead reservoir (OHR) at Dhonwada, along with a 300m³ sump and the provision of a 200mm diameter pumping main. This initiative is set to alleviate water supply shortages in the region, benefiting approximately 2,800 residents.
The project is designed to supply water for four hours daily to the affected areas, significantly improving the quality of life for residents.
Moreover, foundation has been laid for the much-awaited 1000m³ sump with pumping arrangements, and this piece of infrastructure is also expected to be of great help. The project is initiated by the Public Works Department (PWD), Government of Goa.
Awarded to Aadhya Infrastructure, the project has an estimated completion date of February 3, 2026. The sump will be interconnected with the existing 650m³ Overhead Reservoir (OHR) to ensure a steady and improved water supply for residents of 20 Point Colony, Ambirna, Maina, Police Housing Society, Sainagar, and Alps Residency.
The project comes as a response to existing supply constraints, particularly due to the smaller 150m³ Ground Level Reservoir (GLR), which has been limiting water distribution and supply timings. Once completed, the new sump will significantly improve water availability in the region, ensuring efficient distribution and better service to residents.
