KATHMANDU, March 27: The residents of Kathmandu Valley are getting drinking water supplied by the Melamchi Drinking Water Project starting Sunday with Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL) planning to supply 170 million liters of water from the project to its 80,000 clients.

According to the KUKL, the office has been filling four reserve tanks in Mahankalchaur, Anamnagar, Minbhawan and Khumaltar from the water treatment plant in Sundarijal. People residing in Mahankalchaur, Anamnagar, Baneshwor, Chabahil, Newroad, Maitidevi and Thapathali, which are currently connected with the distribution network of these four reserve tanks, will be receiving water supplied from the much-awaited Melamchi Drinking Water Project.

The daily demand for water in the Valley stands at 430 million liters. However, the KUKL has been supplying only 80 million liters of water during the ongoing dry season. A total of Rs 31 billion has been invested in the construction of the project which is completed almost after three decades.
