This scheme was handed over to the Municipality on 19.1.2000 by TWAD Board without any staff. The minimum requirement of staff for the maintenance of the scheme is 30 Nos. and the annual financial commitment towards the salary for them may work out to Rs.18.00 lakhs. Since the Municipality does not have sufficient staff for the maintenance of the new scheme, it has been proposed to privavitise the maintenance system, in accordance with the Govt. orders issued in the GO No.69 MA & WS dated 4.5.1998 which has suggested for the privatisation of works in local bodies to the new scheme.
Accordingly the maintenance of the scheme has been entrusted to the private agencies after following the procedure laid down therefore at an annual rate of Rs.9.00 lakhs (with a savings of 50% of the maintenance cost) from 19.1.2000 and at Rs.5.67 lakhs from 19.1.2001 and the scheme is going on well without any hindrance under the overall supervision of the Engineering staff of this Municipality.
