Clarifying that handing over the water supply maintenance of Hubballi-Dharwad was in not a move towards privatisation, officials of Karnataka Urban Water supply Modernisation Project (KUWSMP) on Thursday said that the entire water supply infrastructure would be handed over back to the Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC) after the contract period.
Speaking at an orientation programme for presspersons regarding the 24x7 water supply project, funded by the World Bank under KUWSMP and executed by Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation (KUIDFC) at Rayapur in Hubballi on Thursday, the authorities sought to clear, what they termed, some of the misconceptions among the public regarding the water supply.
Under the project it has been planned to extend the round-the-clock water supply project to all the 82 wards in the HDMC.
