Mumbai relies on a vast and complex water supply network. Systematic leak detection and control are essential to maintain service quality and sustainability. The project reviewed ongoing leakage control programmes, conducted field surveys in selected detection zones and supervised improvements to practices.

TCE's Scope

Tata Consulting Engineers recommended enhancements to record keeping, establishment of dedicated leakage detection accounts and provision of permanent bypass metres. Organisational restructuring, training and improved mobility for field teams were advised. An empirical formula was developed to determine optimal testing frequency which led to a recommended three year cycle for zone assessments and many recommendations were implemented.

Impact

The project improved leakage control and overall water management in Mumbai and strengthened the city’s ability to sustain service levels across a complex network.
