Chandigarh Master Plan – 2031
10 PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
10.1 INTRODUCTION
Chandigarh’s sectoral grid has a well-designed system of piped
water supply and sewerage disposal. Under the city’s Water Bye-
laws, every planned dwelling unit has to have water and sewerage
connections. With the formation of U.T in 1966, all the works for
the city’s physical infrastructure were handled by the respective
departments of the Chandigarh Administration. After creation of
the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh in 1994, the city’s water
supply, sewerage system, storm water drainage, solid waste
management & sanitation, have been transferred to the Municipal
Corporation. The Ministry of Urban Development (MOUD) has
formulated benchmarks for service delivery in four areas as
mentioned in Table at ANNEXURE-P.1. The purpose of formulating
these benchmarks is to shift the focus from infrastructure creation
to service delivery.
Water supply - sources of water
When Chandigarh was planned, the good availability of sub soil
water was considered adequate for meeting the city’s requirements
as the yield of tubewells was sufficient. With increase in the city’s
population, many tubewells started drying up. It was decided to tap
surface water of the Bhakra Main Line flowing at a distance of 27.5
Kms. from Chandigarh to meet the city’s growing water
requirements. The first phase of augmentation of water supply
from the canal was commissioned in 1983. It was decided by the
Government of India that this quantity of water will be shared by
Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh Administration and Chandimandir
Cantonment in the following ratios:
⁻ Union Territory Chandigarh : 29 cusecs. (14.5 mgd)
⁻ Punjab (for Mohali) : 5 cusecs ( 2.5 mgd)
⁻ Haryana (Panchkula) : 3 cusecs ( 1.5 mgd)
⁻ Chandimandir Cantonment : 3 cusecs ( 1.5 mgd).
205
Present availability of water
At present the city has access to 87 MGD of water which includes
20 MGD from 200 tube wells and 6 MGD and 3 MGD water share of
Haryana and Chandimandir respectively.
The city taps groundwater from the deep confined aquifers, which
do not get naturally recharged. Hence recharging these aquifers is a
must. At present Chandigarh is pumping out more water from its
aquifers than is being recharged. However, the city not only has a
declining deep water table but also has a rising water table in
shallow aquifers in the southern sectors creating problems and
water logging conditions as per Plan for shallow acquifers at P2
and deep acquifers at P3. (Source: Rainwater harvesting plan for
Chandigarh, Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi, 2011).
To meet the city’s future requirements of water, under JNNURM,
Government of India had approved Phases V & VI of water supply
scheme from Kajauli. The Punjab Government had initially agreed
to release 40 mgd raw water out of which U.T’s share was to be
29 mgd. However, Government of Punjab now wants to use this
water exclusively for Mohali area themselves and yet another
phase of bringing more water to Kajauli is being negotiated.
With continuously increasing demand for water and uncertainty
and disputes plaguing augmentation of canal water supply,
Chandigarh needs to develop a comprehensive rain water
harvesting plan to ensure long term sustainability of water sources
for the city.
Existing Transmission, Distribution and Storage Capacities
The transmission mains carry water from the raw water source
Kajauli, Punjab to the Water Treatment Plant in Sector 39,
Chandigarh. The water pumped to the treatment plant is treated,
disinfected and stored. This is further pumped to five distribution
water works which in turn pump the clear water to the city’s
distribution system for use by the consumers. The performance
indicators for maintaining the water supply are mentioned at
ANNEXURE-P.2.

Distribution of water supply in Chandigarh and Manimajra
The city has been divided into 7 zones for the purpose of distribution
including the town of Manimajra. The zoning of the city has been done
keeping in view the north to south slope of the land. Each zone has a
headwork named after its sector. A plan showing the location of tube
wells and boosters in the city is at Plan 3 and the plan showing the
water supply network is at Plan 4.
Manimajra area
Manimajra is mainly dependent on tubewells for water supply. The
two water works at Manimajra are fed by 25 tubewells and canal water
from Sector 26 Waterworks ,Chandigarh.
Recycling of waste water
The Government of India has agreed to the proposal of Chandigarh
Administration for recycling of treated wastewater. Institutions like PGI,
colleges, schools, technical institutions and Punjab University have been
asked to disconnect the potable water supply from irrigation of lawns
and obtain connection of tertiary treatment water to save precious
potable water. The Municipal Corporation has received good response
to the proposal. Accordingly, MC has executed a project under
JNNURM for supply for treated tertiary water having biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD) less than 10 mg/l. Further efforts are being
made to utilize tertiary treated water in all green belts and houses
having area of over one kanal (500 square yards).
10.2 STORM WATER DRAINAGE
The natural slope of Chandigarh’s site facilitates easy disposal of storm
water through Sukhna Choe, N-choe and Patiala ki Rao. Due to the
provision of proper road gullies and good slope of pipes, the storm
water drainage of Chandigarh is in good condition. The city however
experiences the choking of drains due to plastic bags and other solid
waste during heavy rains especially near roundabouts.
Reasons for Floods in Chandigarh
The key reasons for this situation are assessed as follows:-
⁻ Some areas of city experience floods due to inadequate drainage
system, which was designed for rainfall of 12 mm/hour excessive
concentration of flood due to heavy down pour.
Chandigarh Master Plan – 2031
Disappearance of flood absorbing ‘N’- choe because of
urbanisation.
⁻ Dumping of debris and garbage into the open nallahs / N-choe.
⁻ Illegal encroachment of natural water courses.
⁻ Indiscriminate laying of service lines all along and across
natural courses.
⁻ Filling of ‘N’- choe in Chandigarh which decreases the drainage
capacity.
⁻ Diversion of natural water courses to accommodate
habitations.
⁻ Increased run off due to increase in impervious areas.
10.3 SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Sewerage Network
The first phase (sector 1-30) of Chandigarh’s sewerage system was
laid during 1952 to 1965, the second phase (sector 31 to 47) from
1965 to 1976 and the third phase from 1976 onwards. There are
separate sewer and storm water drainage systems in Chandigarh.
The sewerage and storm water is discharged by gravity flow due to
good natural slope from north east to south west. The slope also
helps the sewers to be naturally cleaned due to the good self
cleansing velocities. There is a well organized network of main and
branch sewerage drains. The egg shaped brick trunk sewers
offshoot into 18 inches dia stoneware pipe branch sewers of each
sector at major junctions of V3 roads. The main sewage runs from
west to east with inter connection of sewer line from south to
north. No pumping is involved because of the city’s topography.
The length of stoneware sewage pipe network is 742 km.
The population catered to by the sewerage system is 95%.
Quantum of sewage generation
At present 65.25 million gallons of sewage is generated per day in
Chandigarh. Out of this, 45 MGD is treated at sewage treatment
plant (STP) at Diggian, Phase X1 Mohali and the remaining at Raipur
Khurd (1.25 MGD), Raipur Kalan (5 MGD), 3 BRD (5MGD), Sector 47,
Chandigarh. Another I0 MGD STP is under construction at 3 BRD.
After commission of this STP, total sewerage generated will be
209
treated upto required standards.

10.4 POWER SUPPLY POSITION
• Union Territory of Chandigarh came into existence with effect
from 01.11.1966 after re-organization of erstwhile state of
Punjab. The Local distribution of electricity in Chandigarh was
taken over by the Chandigarh Administration, from the PSEB
on 2nd May, 1967 and is responsible for distribution of power
supply up to consumer’s door-step for making quality and
continuous power supply available to each and every
resident.
• The UT of Chandigarh has no power generation of its own and
the power requirement is met through firm share as well as
unallocated quota from the Central Generating Stations.
At present, UT Chandigarh has availability of power of
approximately 200-270 MW of power from Central
Generating Stations during different hours against the
present summer demand of 275-350 MW. Accordingly, to
meet with the demand gap, the Electricity Department is
purchasing additional power from open market/ banking
arrangement/ power exchanges.
• UT Chandigarh has been working towards expanding and
strengthening its power infrastructure to meet the increasing
consumer demand in various sectors of the economy and
presently it has one 220 KV Sub Station,13 -66 KV Sub Station,
5- 33 KV Sub Station, 1813- 11 KV indoor and pole mounted
Sub Station, 54 Kms. of double ckt. 220 KV lines, 103 Km. of
66 KV line, 28 Km of 33 KV line, 860 Km of 11 KV lines and
1234 Km of LT lines.
• Per capita consumption of electricity in the UT Chandigarh
has increased from 253 Kwh in 1967-68 to 1068 Kwh in 2009-
10 against the national figure of 700 Kwh and accordingly
electricity consumption has increased from 1.38 LU per day
to 66 LU on a particular day.
• The total transformation capacity in 1967-68 was 15.6 MVA
which has increased to 636 MVA.
210
Chandigarh Master Plan – 2031
• The number of consumers in 1967-68 was 27821 which have
been increased to approximately 2 Lakhs.
• The present connected load is 1136 MW.
• The peak power demand in 1967-68 was approximately
14 MW which has been touched to 350 MW during this year
i.e. on dated 21.06.2012. The T&D loss in 1967-68 was 25 %
which has been reduced to approximately 17%.
• The number of employees in 1990-91 was 1540 which has
been presently decreased to 1085 against the sectioned post
of 1790 numbers. The units purchased in 1967-68 were
57 MUs which has been increased to approximately 1682 MU.
The units billed in 1967-68 were 43 MUs which has been
increased to approximately 1300 MU. The revenue realization
in 1967-68 was Rs 0.84 Cr which has been increased to
approximately Rs 530 Cr.
• To meet with the growing demand of power, the power
purchase agreements have been tied up with future upcoming
thermal/ hydro power plants. Load flow studies are being got
conducted to strengthen the distribution infrastructure and
two 220 kV sub-stations and six 66 kV sub stations are under
planning.
• To reduce the T&D loss further, R-APDRP programme of
Government of India/Ministry of Power is being implemented
and the work will start shortly.
• Further, the working of the Electricity Department is being
regulated by JERC. The first two ARR for the FY 2011-12 and
• FY 2012-13 have been filed and the same have been
approved by the JERC and stands implemented.
• Gas based energy source to be tapped in view of land / space
constraints
• SCADA based power monitoring of street lights .
• 11 KV and 66 KV lines to be laid underground in future and
existing overhead lines to be made underground .

10.5 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Existing solid waste management in Chandigarh
The garbage is collected in small cycle carts during road sweeping
by the safaiwalas of the corporation and is collected from house to
house in large cycle carts. The collected waste is deposited in
community Sehaj Safai Kendras from where it is transported to the
dumping ground regularly through hydraulic fitted vehicles. In
response to protests against the smell and poor maintenance of
Sehaj Safai kendras, the corporation recently attempted to change
the system. This, however, got stalled by protests of the sweepers
working on contract.
Treatment of garbage with solution and dumping of disposal
The city Corporation has earmarked 45 Acres of low lying land
situated in the west of Sector 38 near Dadumajra rehabilitation
colony where the garbage is disposed of through ‘Land-Filling’.
Government of Punjab has been requested to identify 100 acres
for a new dumping ground.
Garbage processing unit
MC has set up a Garbage Processing Unit based on ‘pelletisation’
technology as a joint venture with M/s Jaiprakash Associates
Limited on 10 acres of land for the processing of Municipal Solid
Waste of the city on BOOT basis.
Central pollution control board’s sponsored demonstration
project
The Central Pollution Control Board has allotted one
demonstration project to the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh
for the management of Municipal Solid Waste and to demonstrate
implementation of Municipal Solid Waste (Management &
Handling) Rules, 2000.
214
Chandigarh Master Plan – 2031
The following 3 important components are not covered under
the Demonstration Project:
1. Disposal of domestic hazardous waste
⁻ The practice of disposal of hazardous household waste like
used batteries, pesticides etc. along with solid waste is
contrary to the provisions of the rules which inter-alia
state that separate arrangements should be made for the
disposal of hazardous household waste in the prescribed
scientific manner to protect the environment.
⁻ E-waste facility by DOST.
2. Disposal of slaughter house waste
The Municipal Corporation Chandigarh is according top priority
for the collection and transportation of waste from the slaughter
house, meat market and fish market etc. due to its peculiar
nature. At present the waste from these places is dumped along
with other municipal solid waste leading to problems.
Biomethanation plant also exists in slaughter house.
3. Disposal of carcasses
At present the disposal of dead animals is being done at 2-3 open
spaces, which is creating unhygienic conditions and is also
inviting public criticism.
It has been observed that undeveloped fringe areas of the city
village hinterland, and areas along the choes are being used as
dumping grounds.
A site measuring 1 acre has been finalized for carcasses near
garbage processing unit in Dadumajra.

Use of recycled water will be compulsory for all non-potable uses
for all large buildings with an area of more than 2000 sq. m. in all
new developments. If such water is not supplied by the MC then
the building should set up its own water treatment plant within
its premises for reuse of waste water. 216

Recharging deep sub-soil aquifers
The storm water network receives more than 70% of the total
rainfall falling in the city. Harvesting rainwater from the storm
water drain network to recharge the confined aquifer, through
structures all along the network is a simple solution to access the
city’s endowment of rainwater. This will be an effective way to
augment the city’s water resources.
Areas suitable for rainwater harvesting in the city are roads and
roundabouts, all green areas, institutional areas such as Punjab
University, Capitol Complex, commercial areas, schools, colleges,
religious places, industrial areas and airport.
The Municipal Corporation has decided to undertake systematic
rainwater harvesting in Sector 26 on a trial basis as per a
comprehensive rain water harvesting plan prepared by the Centre
for Science & Environment (CSE), New Delhi. This plan has proposed
recharging of the deep aquifers by constructing recharge structures
along the city’s storm water drain network for tapping the rain
water flowing through it. This should be combined with building
surface or underground water storage structures for landscaping/
horticultural use. The city’s building bye-laws now also require all
new buildings above a I kanal to undertake rainwater harvesting.
However , due to the higher water table However in view of the
higher water table and shallow aquifers in the Southern sectors
(CSE REPORT). The mandatory rain water harvesting needs to be
reviewed.
Mal functioning of water meters:
Unauthorized water connections and mal functioning of water
meters should also be checked regularly to avoid illegal and
excessive use of water.
217
Chandigarh Master Plan – 2031
Water audit for existing buildings
A comprehensive water use audit shall be undertaken to examine
all of the major aspects of water use in buildings, including
sanitation, maintenance, mechanical systems, building processes,
landscaping etc. A culture of water conservation amongst the
residents through rainwater harvesting, recycling and reusing
water and reducing water use will be promoted.
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
Developing a storm water drainage master plan
The Municipal Corporation has undertaken a study to prepare a
storm water drainage master plan to alleviate the problems of
flooding. The study recommended deepening and widening of the
nallahs for the sections affected by encroachments, modification
to cross drainage works, some soft measures such as prevention
of dumping of waste into the nallahs to prevent clogging and the
provision of retaining walls at critical sections.
Zero drainage of Storm Water for large development sites (>30
Acre)
All large developments, housing and institutional campuses etc.
with a total site area of over 30 acres must adhere to zero storm
water runoff from the site. The possibility of implementing this in
existing campuses such as P.G.I, C.S.I.O., IMTECH, P.U., PEC,
GMCH, Sector 17, Sector 34 also needs to be explored and if found
feasible, steps taken to implement it as early as possible.
Ban on construction in the catchment areas except as applicable
in the zoning plan.

 Chandigarh Master Plan – 2031

Integrated implementation of sustainable urban drainage GAS SUPPLY

systems (SUDS)
Currently, there is neither an existing piped gas distribution
Some of the components of the SUDS are pervious pavings, network nor there is any nodal agency in the region catering to
green roofs, filter drains, filter strips, swales, detention basins & such a facility. However, the GAIL can be considered to be the
retention ponds, infiltration devices, pipes and accessories, nodal agency which shall be responsible to decide the planned
constructed wetlands. implementation of gas pipe line to bring gas to Chandigarh.
Implementation

Sites with less than 10,000 sq.m. area shall implement rain water
harvesting and SUDS Source control and infiltration instruments
such as green roofs, permeable paving, infiltration trenches,
infiltration basins, etc.

Larger sites (area greater than 10000 sq.m) shall implement

integrated SUDS techniques as feasible that would effectively
reduce runoff.

Still larger sites (with area greater than 20 acres) should go for
soil infiltration rate testing before implementing SUDS infiltration
devices & passive treatment techniques to enable successful
implementation of “zero” storm water drainage from the site.

Sewerage system

There should be zero discharge into nallahs/choes/rivers. It is

further recommended that:

• FAB Technology should be used.

• Large campuses should have decentralized sewerage
treatment plants.
• Tertiary treated water should be used intensively.

SOLAR CITY – VISION FOR ACHIEVING SELF SUSTAINABILITY

Chandigarh to be developed as a Solar City Solar Park

MNRE has identified Chandigarh as one of the 60 cities in the Solar Park for setting up of solar power plant for generating 25 MW
country to be developed as solar cities by 2012 as part of the solar power has been proposed along a stretch of large open track
National Mission of Solar Energy. The objective is that after cost of land along seasonal Patiali Ki Rao where water flows only during
effective efficiency and demand response, the city relies on 2 to 3 months .
renewable sources of energy, to the extent possible. The underlying
philosophy of the concept of Solar City is to ensure that Chandigarh
energy demand is met in affordable, technologically advances, and
environmentally friendly manner. It means that after cost effective
efficiency and demand response, the city relies on renewable
sources of power and distributed generation, to the extent possible.
It is proposed that Chandigarh will generate its own power by
harnessing solar energy for which following has been proposed:
• The endeavour shall be to enable each house in the
city to produce enough power for its domestic
requirement.
• 10MW solar PV based roof top power generation 5 MW solar
PV based power plant in landfill site of the city, this has of late
been ruled out due to capping of the site.
• 25 MW large solar PV based power plant in Patiala ki Rao
choe.
Utilizing Central Government schemes and CREST, the Municipal
Corporation may initiate installation of solar-based LED traffic
lights, solar street lights, building integrated solar PV, and other COVERING OF CHOES WITH
relevant solar products on a priority basis. SOLAR PANEL
A renewable energy park could be set up to promote use of
renewable energy.
Provision of solar powered lights and fountains in prominent public
gardens and parks and battery operated vehicles for intra-complex
transportation.
Creation of accredited certifiers who can be engaged by house
owners/builders/developers for obtaining energy conservation
compliance certificates.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
To overcome the problems observed in the existing set up for Municipal
solid waste management an attempt shall be made to manage and treat
the waste in a decentralized way as far as possible in the following
manner:
WASTE SEGREGATION AND MANAGEMENT AT SECTOR LEVEL
All residential and commercial establishments shall be motivated to
segregate biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste and, where
possible, to compost biodegradable waste on site. Recyclable non-
biodegradable waste shall be sold to waste pickers and only the
remaining non-biodegradable waste sent for disposal.
Public-private alliances between local bodies, NGOs, RWA’s and CBO’s
for developing innovative models for managing solid waste at the
neighbourhood level and undeveloped areas including villages shall be
encouraged. Some of the methods to be promoted include OSI, bio-
sanitizer, compositing, vermi-composting and compositing with bio
culture. As per Bio Medical Waste Rules (Management & Handling) in
cities having population above 5 lakh, carcasses are to be disposed off
by incineration.
WASTE MANAGEMENT IN APARTMENTS & SOCIETIES:
In order to reduce the waste that finally goes into the land fill sites, it is
proposed that Group Housing Societies with more than 20 households
and apartments with similar strength in each sub -sector shall provide
segregated solid waste management facilities within the site in a
sustainable manner.
• All waste going to land fill site should be processed before final
disposal.
• Treatment options for bio-degradable waste:
Composting and bio-methanation are among the treatment options
available for treating bio-degradable waste at a smaller scale.
• All markets shall be asked to have arrangements for composting
the organic waste (coming from fish / slaughterhouses / vegetable/
fruit/ flower markets) they generate.
• A bio-gas plant of 3000 Kg. capacity is installed for scientific disposal
of slaughter house waste.
• All hotels and restaurants should have in-house arrangements
for treating biodegradable waste.
• All offices and commercial buildings should have arrangements
for recycling of items such as paper and cardboards, toner
cartridges, batteries, mobile phones and e-waste.
224
Chandigarh Master Plan – 2031
A carcasses incineration/utilization centre is proposed to be set up
over an area of 1 acre of land identified in Dadumajra. An annual
waste audit report should be made mandatory for all commercial
establishments, offices, restaurants, hotels, educational institutions
etc. to be submitted to the MOH/ Municipal Corporation as per details
to be specified by the concerned Deptt.
E-WASTE SUPPORT SYSTEM TO BE PROVIDED BY CHANDIGARH
ADMINISTRATION/MC
Electronic waste such as PCs, faxes, mobile phones, etc. better known
as e-waste is being recycled by the informal sector and/or dumped
with regular municipal solid waste causing serious environmental
problems.
E-waste should be handled by registered e-waste handling agencies
following the guidelines framed by the concerned department.
THE MANAGEMENT OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE
Biomedical waste forms about 0.4% of the total municipal waste
generated in Chandigarh. If this waste gets mixed with the municipal
waste without any segregation, disinfection and treatment, all the
waste becomes infected and poses a serious threat to the health of
workers, waste handlers, people in general and the environment. The
Chandigarh Administration shall endeavour to take measures to follow
Bio Medical Waste Management and Handling Rules 1998.
A mandatory Waste Management and Recycling Plan for construction
and demolition projects for all new and existing buildings with the
intent to minimize the generation of waste due to construction activity
and manage the generated waste in a sustainable manner shall be
made a compulsory requirement for plan approval.
⁻ In case of demolition projects, if a minimum of 20% of the
existing structure (walls, roofs and floors, windows, doors, etc.
excluding the hazardous materials) is reused, incentive/rebate
shall be given.
⁻ A minimum of 4% of the total site area should be allocated for
storage of the waste. This storage area should be covered and
the pollutants from the waste should not affect the surrounding.
