Shimla’s ageing water distribution system was characterised by intermittent supply, pressure fluctuations and high losses which intensified during peak tourist seasons. The project aimed to transform the system into a fully pressurised and continuous arrangement capable of delivering reliable service year round. Transmission mains were upgraded, distribution networks were rehabilitated and modern storage reservoirs were constructed to support round the clock supply. Smart metering systems were introduced to enable accurate consumption measurement, faster leak detection and improved demand management.
