2. My presentation covers our good experiences in using PPP in delivering outstanding service in the field of rural water supply and sanitation and our continuous efforts in this direction.

3. Fields of Public Private Partnership

4. 1.RO based small WTPs 2.Water Supply Schemes 3.Sewerage Schemes

5. RO BASED SMALL WTPs

6.  TDS/Uranium affected areas  water scarcity areas to meet with the minimum drinking & cooking water requirements. RO based small WTPs have been installed in:

7. This PPP model is procured on “Concession model” principal where the system is build & operated (for 7 years) through competitive bidding & is then transferred to the owner i.e DWSS No other Private operator is allowed in the village for providing drinking water supply. GPWSC or any other agency can, however, supply water for other purposes. Procurement

8.  Endeavoring for the maximum participation of the community through intensive IEC activities.  Regular upkeep of the RO Plant.  Proper disposal of reject water into nearby deep bore well/pond  Selling potable water at plant site at all times @ Rs 2/- per 20 ltr. Jerry Can/ bucket Duties of service provider

9. To Provide:  A source of RAW water, however the water will be produced by the service provider.  A Power Supply connection, however the electricity bill is to be paid by the service provider  Land, free of cost, throughout the tenure of project. Duties of Department/ Gram Panchayat

10. Performance Guarantee for 7 years (% of Capital Cost)  1 st two years 20%  3 rd and 4 th years 15%  5 th, 6 th and 7 th year 10% Contract Performance Conditions- Financial

11.  Number of units already in 686 Operation  Number of units under 1125 Installation  Total No. of Units likely to 1811 be in operation by March, 2012  Units in planning stage 65 Some statistics

12. For 1000 lph capacity plant year of Installation: 2009 Production 1.4.10-31.3.11:1050600 Litre Income@ 10Paisa per Litre Total Annual Income : Rs 105060/- Annual Expenditure: Power cost : Rs 38000/- Average O&M cost : Rs 12000/- Total Salaries: Rs 30000/- Total Production cost : Rs 80000/- Saving per Annum: 25060/- Case Study

13. Successful And Satisfying

14. Water Supply Schemes

15. Part-1 O&M of Cluster of Schemes which are operated and maintained by DWSS

16.  1 st Party: DWSS  2 nd Party : Contractor Procured on bi- party Agreement basis

17.  Overseeing all aspects of O&M performed by contractor.  Payment of electricity bills.  Billing & Collection of water Revenue. Duties of 1 st Party i.e DWSS

18.  Equitable distribution of Water Supply.  Disconnection of illegal connections, if any.  Making new connections (sanction and material to be arranged by the consumer)  General upkeep of the installation Duties of 2nd Party i.e Contractor

19.  Compliance of various labour laws including minimum wages Act.  Alternative arrangements in case disruption of water supply. Duties of 2nd Party i.e Contractor – Contd.

20.  Tenure of Agreement 4/2011-03/2012.  No of water schemes covered under one agreement : 42 (103 Villages) DescriptionY 2010-11Y 2011-12 Expenditure 165.5 Lac169.26 Lac (Upto November)( inclusive of annual increase @ 10%) Revenue 51.45 Lac56.81 Lac % revenue50%55% Collected/ target Recovery ratio 0.340.34 Case Study

21. Since the recovery ratio has remained the same(0.34) therefore some punitive/ motivational measures are required to be incorporated in the agreement for improving the ratio closest to 1, to make the system self sustainable

22. Part-2 Schemes handed over to GPWSC

23. Generally the O&M of such schemes is satisfactory but some times (in very few cases) due certain unavoidable reasons, the GPWSCs fail to run the schemes successfully. This PPP model has been developed to deal with such situations.

24.  Lack of interest of some GPWSC members  Groupism in Village hindering Sustainability.  Lack of Technical know how.  Non availability of technical man power in and around the village.  Spoilt by free bees in the past, hence avoidance for payment of monthly water bills Some Identified Reasons
