EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. Project background
The ongoing Kolkata Environmental Improvement Project (KEIP Phase 1) is a multi-agency

endeavor to arrest environmental degradation and improve the quality of life in Kolkata. KEIP
aims to provide affordable access to basic urban services, revamp and upgrade the sewerage
and drainage system, make the solid waste management system efficient, restore the city’s
drainage canals, and improve outdoor recreation facilities in parks and water bodies. It also has a
stakeholder consultation program and a capacity building component to raise the standards of
delivery of municipal services by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC).
The works under KEIP Phase 1 are in progress and will be completed by 30 June 2012, the
closing date of the ADB KEIP Phase 1 loans (1813-IND and 2293-IND). Both KMC and ADB wish
to continue their combined efforts to improve the urban environment and living conditions in
Kolkata, building on results achieved and experience gained. Therefore, a second phase of the
KEIP project is now proposed, which will be named the Second Kolkata Environmental
Improvement Project (KEIP Phase 2). The ADB has expressed its willingness to support the
KEIP Phase 2 by providing a new project loan in the amount of US$90 million. Continuation of
ADB loan support for the third and fourth phase of the KEIP depends on achievements during
KEIP Phase 2.
For loan processing a number of documents must be prepared at a standard acceptable to the
ADB. In order to meet the ADB requirements the KMC, assisted by its Project Management
Consultants (PMC), has prepared the Kolkata Urban Sector Investment Plan 2012-2022,
consisting of four volumes:
Volume 1: The urban service plan (this report)
Volume 2: The investment plan
Volume 3: Economic and financial aspects
Volume 4: Environmental and social safeguards frameworks
Furthermore the KMC has prepared Sub-project Appraisal Reports (SAR) for KEIP Phase 2 sub-
projects in accordance with ADB requirements for the sub-sectors:
• Water supply
• Sewerage and drainage
2. KEIP Objectives
The overarching objective of the Kolkata Environmental Improvement Project is to achieve

sustainable economic growth through improved quality of urban life and the urban environment.
The immediate objectives of the project may be summarised as:
• To provide affordable access to water supply, sewerage and drainage services in KMC
• To enhance quality and sustainability of urban service delivery by institutional reforms and
capacity building
I
3. Scope of the KEIP Phase 2
Total KEIP Phase 2 investment envisaged is US$128.57 million, based on 70% ADB financing
($90 million) and 30% KMC and State Government financing ($38.57 million). The project will
address urban service needs in the water supply sub-sector and the sewerage and drainage sub-
sector.
The maximum project period is 5 years (2012-2017) but considering the urgent need to improve
urban service provision and infrastructure the KMC intends to speed up implementation of the
project to ensure that the people of Kolkata will enjoy the benefits of the project as soon as
possible. Based on experience gained during the ongoing project the KMC is confident that the
entire KEIP Phase 2 can be implemented within a period of 4 years meaning that the Phase 2
project period will be from 2012 to 2016.
4. Population
Kolkata is a sprawling metropolis. The larger Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA) covers an area of
1,851km2 and according to the Census had a total population in year 2001 of 14,720,000 people.
In terms of population the Kolkata Metropolitan Area belongs to the world’s top ten megacities.
The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) is the centre of the metropolis and covers a total area
of 187 km2 which is just over 10% of the metropolitan area.
According to the provisional 2011 Census results the KMC population stands at a total of
4,484,484 people down from 4,572,876 in 2001. This means an actual population decrease
compared to 2001 of 88,392 people (-1.93%). The city centre is very densely populated.
Densities between 50,000 and 60,000 people per km2 are quite common in the central wards of
the KMC and in some wards the density is even higher than 100,000 people per km2. This is
extremely high by all standards. Because of these cramped living conditions people have
increasingly settled in the urban fringe areas where population is growing fast. Meanwhile the
central city boroughs of KMC experience population decline. These trends are expected to
continue in the future. For the period 2011- 2022 modest overall population increase is projected
of 1.7% which brings the total KMC population at 4,560,887 people in 2022.
Decreasing population densities, declining household sizes and increasing gender ratios have
consistently been recorded since the 1991 Census, indicating that the living conditions in Kolkata
are steadily improving. Nevertheless, approximately one third of the Kolkata population
(1,485,309 people) lives in slums.
5. Overall baseline level of urban service provision
The Hand Book of Service Level Benchmarking of the Ministry of Urban Development,
Government of India, defines national benchmark targets for urban service provision. Overall it
appears that KMC still has a long way to go to arrive at the national service level targets.
However, compared to the national averages (as far as available) KMC compares in general
positive. For some of the benchmarks there is a big difference in service levels within the KMC
area. The water supply service level is distinctly different for the various water supply zones. The
sewerage and drainage service level in the central city area is distinctly different from the service
quality in some of the outer areas where a formal underground sewer system simply does not
exist.
II
6. Urban service plan
In the urban service plan the baseline levels of urban service provision in KMC have been
determined and realistic targets for 2017 and 2022 have been set to arrive at improved service
delivery, in line with national benchmark targets. The following tables summarize the plan for
urban service delivery.
Besides service level assessments, the urban service plan also includes an assessment of
current infrastructure and equipment used for service delivery and set targets for 2017 and 2022
for improvements needed in terms of quantity and quality.

1 Background
The ongoing Kolkata Environmental Improvement Project Phase 1 (KEIP 1) is a multi-agency

endeavor to arrest environmental degradation and improve the quality of life in Kolkata. KEIP
aims to provide affordable access to basic urban services, revamp and upgrade the sewerage
and drainage system, make the solid waste management system efficient, restore the city’s
drainage canals, and improve outdoor recreation facilities in parks and water bodies. It also has a
stakeholder consultation program and a capacity building component to raise the standards of
delivery of municipal services by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC).
The original project was for $360 million including $250 million from an Asian Development Bank
(ADB) loan. Financing is from the KMC, the Government of West Bengal (GoWB) and the ADB.
In addition there is grant financing from the UK Department for International Development (DFID)
for the KMC capacity building component of the Project. The Executive Agencies of the Project
are KMC and GoWB Irrigation and Waterways Department (IWD).
The original ADB loan (Loan 1813-IND) of US$250 million was approved on 19 December 2000.
After cancellation of $72.2 million from the original loan, a supplementary loan (Loan 2293-IND)
of $80 million was approved and became effective on 1 June 2007. The closing date of these two
loans with a total amount of $257.8 million has been extended to 30 June 2012.
The works under KEIP Phase 1 are in progress and will be completed by mid 2012. Both KMC
and ADB wish to continue their combined efforts to improve the urban environment and living
conditions in Kolkata, building on results achieved and experience gained. Therefore, a second
phase of KEIP is now proposed, which will be named the Second Kolkata Environmental
Improvement Project (KEIP Phase 2). The ADB has expressed its willingness to support the
KEIP Phase 2 by providing a new project loan in the amount of US$90 million. Successful
implementation of the second phase may result in co-financing of a third and fourth phase of the
KEIP by ADB.
2 Objectives
The overarching objective of the Kolkata Environmental Improvement Project is to achieve

sustainable economic growth through improved quality of urban life and the urban environment.
The immediate objectives of the project may be summarised as:
• To provide affordable access to water supply, sewerage and drainage services in KMC
• To enhance quality and sustainability of urban service delivery by institutional reforms and
capacity building
3 Scope of the project
Total KEIP Phase 2 investment envisaged is US$128.57 million, based on 70% ADB financing
($90 million) and 30% KMC and State Government financing ($38.57 million). The maximum
project period is 5 years but considering the urgent need to improve urban service provision and
infrastructure the KMC intends to speed up implementation of the project to ensure that the
people of Kolkata will enjoy the benefits of the project as soon as possible. Based on experience
gained during the ongoing project the KMC is confident that the entire KEIP Phase 2 can be
1
implemented within a period of 4 years meaning that the Phase 2 project period will be from 2012
to 2016. Continuation of ADB loan support for subsequent KEIP Phases 3 and 4 depends on
achievements during the second phase. Assuming successful project implementation in Phase 2,
the third KEIP Phase could be implemented in the period 2015-2019 and Phase 4 in period 2018-
2022, meaning that the various Phases will have some overlap.
The ongoing KEIP Phase 1 is mainly focused on the sewerage and drainage sub-sector in the
outer areas of the city. KEIP Phase 2 continues improving and extending sewerage and drainage
systems, but will also include a substantial water supply sub-sector component.
The Investment Plan 2012-2022 covering KEIP Phase 2, 3 and 4 (refer to Volume 2 of the
Kolkata Urban Sector Investment Plan), even has a much wider scope and addresses urban
service needs in the Water Supply, the Sewerage & Drainage, and the Solid Waste Management
sub-sectors. The focus is on the 10 year plan period 2012-2022, but investment needs beyond
2022 that have been identified in these sub-sectors are included as well. The investment plan is a
combination of:
• Physical investment, through subprojects falling into the agreed subsectors of urban services
in the investment plan.
• Non-physical investment, such as regulatory and institutional reforms to make best use of the
physical investment, and capacity building to enable the urban service policy makers and
providers to achieve the reforms.
New initiatives for innovative approaches have been explored, especially:

• Possible use of public-private partnership (PPP) for construction of assets, and/or operations
and maintenance of the assets created by the projects
• Introduction of eco-friendly equipments, such as LED streetlights, to rationalize KMC's
expenditure on utilities as a part of financial management improvement actions of KMC.
For loan processing a number of documents must be prepared at a standard acceptable to the
ADB. In order to meet the ADB requirements the KMC, assisted by its Project Management
Consultants (PMC), has prepared the Kolkata Urban Sector Investment Plan 2012-2022,
consisting of four volumes:
Volume 1: The urban service plan (this report)
Volume 2: The investment plan
Volume 3: Economic and financial aspects
Volume 4: Environmental and social safeguards frameworks
Furthermore the KMC has prepared Sub-project Appraisal Reports (SAR) for KEIP Phase 2 sub-
projects in accordance with ADB requirements for the sub-sectors:
• Water supply
• Sewerage and drainage

4 Kolkata Metropolitan Area
Kolkata is a city with a history dating back to 1686, when the British East India Company set up a
trading settlement on the banks of the Hooghly River. Although Kolkata soon became a thriving
trading place, it remained a relatively small village for a long time. In 1710 the settlement had a
population of approximately 12,000 people. Later in the 18th century the British took control over
large parts of Bengal and Kolkata gained importance as the centre of power in British India. In
1772 Kolkata became the capital of British India.
During the 19th century the position of Kolkata grew steadily more important. Bengali literature
and culture flourished and many buildings constructed during this century reflect the wealth and
importance of the city. The population increased from a mere 45,000 in the year 1757 to 187,000
in the year 1831 and by the turn of the century in 1901 the population had reached a total number
of 848,000.
In 1911 the British decided to relocate the capital from Kolkata to Delhi. This was an economic
drawback for the development of the city and growth levels declined. Nevertheless the population
reached a total of more than one million (1,030,000) in the year 1921 and continued to grow.
Another major event with a high impact on the development of Kolkata was the partition of India
in 1947. The city lost direct access to large parts of its natural hinterland and besides had to cope
with a huge influx of refugees from East Pakistan. The war between India and Pakistan in 1971
caused another wave of refugees arriving in Kolkata. The impact in terms of housing shortages,
overcrowding, poverty and overloaded infrastructure and urban services has been felt for a long
time after.
Nowadays, Kolkata is a sprawling metropolis. The larger Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA) covers
an area of 1,851km2 and according to the Census had a total population in year 2001 of
14,720,000 people, which implies an average density of 7950 persons per sq.km.
In terms of population the Kolkata Metropolitan Area belongs to the world’s top ten megacities.
The 2008 UN-Habitat report ranks the Kolkata Metropolitan Area as the eighth largest megacity in
the world.

The Kolkata Metropolitan Area has mainly developed in a linear North-South pattern along both
banks of Hooghly River. In the early days of Kolkata the Hooghly was the main transport artery
and all activities focused on the river. In subsequent years the construction of two railway lines
and more recently two highways on both river banks all running more or less parallel to the river
have further shaped the urban growth process. The wetlands in the East have restricted the
development potential in Eastern direction. The resulting urbanization pattern is a predominantly
linear form extending along the Hooghly River from KMC to Kalyani on the East Bank and from
Howrah to Tribeni on the West Bank of the river.
The topography of the Kolkata Metropolitan Area is mainly flat and the average elevation is just
5m above sea level. On the West Bank the land slopes towards the Hooghly River. On the East
Bank the land slopes in the reverse direction, away from the river and down to the low laying
marshes and wetlands to the East. The Hooghly is a branch of the mighty Ganges River. From
Kolkata the Hooghly winds its way to the South where it flows in to the Bay of Bengal
approximately 120km from Kolkata. At high tide the flow in the Hooghly River reverses and even
at 120km from the sea the current flowing North in the reverse direction can be very strong. The
tidal fluctuation is approximately 4m in the monsoon season and 2.75m during the dry season.
During the monsoon season, lasting from mid June to early October, the combination of high tide
and high rainfall often results in water logging in large parts of the urban area. Especially the
Howrah Municipal Corporation on the Hooghly West-bank suffers from flooding caused by
backflow. On the East Bank, in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) area, backflow of river
water only causes problems in some low-laying places near the Hooghly and along some of the
smaller rivers in the city that have an open connection with the Hooghly. In the KMC area most of
the storm water drains to the East through a system of channels that carry the storm water to the
vast protected East Kolkata Wetlands before it finally discharges 36km from the city into the Kulti
River which flows to the Bay of Bengal.
5 Kolkata Municipal Corporation
5.1 Administrative area
Kolkata is the capital of the State of West Bengal, and is the main port of entry in North Eastern
India. Kolkata is located at 22O30’ North Latitude, 88O30’ East Longitude. Administratively the
urban area of the Kolkata Metropolitan Area is subdivided in 3 Municipal Corporations, 38
Municipalities, and a large number of smaller administrative units called Panchayat Samities.
The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) is the centre of the metropolis and covers a total area
of 187 km2 which is just over 10% of the metropolitan area (refer to figure below). The KMC area
has grown over the years by annexation of suburban areas. The 1899 Calcutta Municipal Act
defined the administrative domain of the municipal authority as covering 25 wards and 48.5km2.
Many boundary changes followed, the latest one in January 1984 when boroughs XI, XII, XIII, XIV
and XV were annexed to the KMC. These boroughs are popularly known as the “added areas”.
Since these latest additions, the jurisdiction of KMC now covers 15 boroughs which are
subdivided in 141 wards as shown in the figure below.

5.2 KMC spatial development pattern

The core of the KMC area is the old colonial town on the Hooghly River East-bank and its direct
surroundings, which is nowadays still the central business district of the entire Metropolitan Area.
The city centre is dotted with many fine old colonial buildings. A most prominent feature of central
Kolkata is the huge 3 km long open area called the Maidan, which originally served as open
ground around Fort William to allow the cannons of the Fort a clear line of fire. Nowadays the
Maidan serves the people of Kolkata as a green belt, a central park and a sports and playground.
From the early days the economy of Kolkata has always been based on industry and trade
together with related commercial activities and financial services. In the central business district
most government offices are located, often in heritage buildings dating back to colonial days. The
old part of the city accommodates many commercial activities and services such as shops,
markets, banks, hotels and offices. Important heritage buildings and cultural objects such as the
Victoria Memorial, the Indian Museum, the High Court, Writer’s Building, the Town Hall, St. Paul’s
Cathedral and the Marble Palace are also found in and around the core area.
The construction of the Eastern Bypass Road (1982-1986) opened-up new developable land and
this initiated development in the near vicinity of this major arterial road. Especially high-rise
apartment blocks, shopping malls, hotels, schools and hospitals have been constructed recently
and more development is expected in the near future. The Eastern wards of KMC have the
highest development potential. The Southern wards come second in potential. This is mainly
because of available land and access. The ongoing expansion of the metro rail transit system to
the East and South will further increase the development potential of these areas.
In the more central parts of the KMC vacant land is near to non-existent but redevelopment does
take place and this provides opportunities for urban renewal and further intensification of land use.
Often this means that residential blocks will be converted into commercial land uses, resulting in
an increased focus on commercial activities and services and a shift of population from the
central parts of the city to the urban fringes.
It should be noted that the KMC intends to protect the old colonial core area from redevelopment
that would adversely impact the heritage values. This policy limits the redevelopment potential but
will also mean a tremendous increase of the economic potential of this old town area especially in
terms of recreation and tourism with related activities such as hotels, restaurants, museums,
shops, etc.

6.1 Current population
Detailed population data are available from the Census that is held every ten years. The latest
Census was in 2011 but only some results have so far been published. The following table shows
the provisional 2011 Census data on KMC population by borough subdivided over male, female
and other. The 2011 Census data on slum population, households and household size are not yet
available and therefore the baseline shown in the table is from the 2001 Census. Detailed data
per ward are presented in the annexes to this report.

Note that the total area of all wards adds up to almost 181 km2. The total surface area of KMC is
187km2. The difference is explained by the surface area of Fort William, the Canals, and the
River Ports.
6.2 Population characteristics and trends
According to provisional 2011 Census results the West Bengal State population has grown by
13.9% in the period 2001-2011 compared to 17.8% in the period 1991-2001, indicating that
overall population growth is slowing down in line with the national trend. This is also the case for
each of the Districts in which the Kolkata Metropolitan Area is located. Nevertheless, in most of
these Districts population continues to grow fast except the KMC as illustrated in the following
table.

According to the preliminary 2011 Census results the KMC population stands at a total of
4,484,484 people down from 4,572,876 in 2001. This means an actual population decrease
compared to 2001 of 88,392 people (-1.93%) in ten years time. In the previous intra-Census
period (1991-2001) the KMC population was still growing, although at a low decennial rate of
4.28%.
The KMC covers only 10% of the total Kolkata Metropolitan Area, but accommodates 31% of the
Metropolitan population. However, the KMC share of the metropolitan population has consistently
decreased over the past decades as illustrated in the following table.

The outer urban areas of the metropolis grow much faster than the core. The centre of the
metropolis is extremely densely populated and there is very limited vacant, developable land. As
a result, over the years the growing population has increasingly settled in the urban fringe areas.
The table below illustrates that the average population density (population per square km) in KMC
is much higher than in the other parts of the Kolkata Metropolitan Area.

The above table presents average values. A closer analysis of the 141 wards within the KMC
reveals that in some wards the density is even higher than 100,000 people per km2. This is
extremely high by all standards. Densities between 50,000 and 60,000 people per km2 are quite
common in the central wards of the KMC, but also occur in borough XV which is a low income
area near the river port. The ten most densely populated wards, all with population densities
8
above 90.000 people per km2 in year 2011, are listed in the table below. Not surprisingly most of
the high density wards are found in the city centre, especially in borough IV.

A shift of population pressure from the centre to the urban fringes can be observed at the
metropolitan level but also at the KMC level. The central city boroughs of KMC experience
population decline and the outer boroughs population increase. This is not a new phenomenon
but the trend of shrinking population in the core city is accelerating over time as can be seen from
the growth rates since 1991 as presented in the following table, map and graph.

Apparently the population densities in the central city have reached a level of saturation and
people are moving out to settle in the urban fringes. Decreasing household sizes further
contribute to the population decline because the number of people per dwelling unit declines. In
the central wards population densities also decrease because of conversion of residential land in
more commercial land uses. In contrast, most of the outer KMC boroughs still experience high
population growth. This shows that behind the overall trend of stagnation of population growth in
KMC, the detailed picture by ward and borough reveals a much more dynamic growth pattern.
The average household size in KMC decreased from 5.14 in the year 1991 to 4.92 in year 2001 in
line with the national trend for urban areas. The 2011 Census data are not yet available, but it is
likely that the decrease of average household sizes will continue. The largest households are
found in the central parts of the KMC. The Census defines households as a group of people
sharing a living space and having a common cooking place. Large households, especially in the
city centre, often consist of people sharing an apartment but not necessarily forming a family.
Central city boroughs II, IV, V, VI, VII and IX all have above average household sizes, indicating
cramped living conditions in these already congested areas.
The wards on the outskirts of the KMC still experience population growth and increasing densities.
However, with the exception of the slum areas near the River Port in Borough XV most of the
outer wards still have densities much lower than the central city and therefore these outer wards
still have potential to accommodate more people. Typically the outer wards of KMC have average
densities ranging between 15,000 and 30,000 people per km2 as illustrated in the following figure.
11
The above figure also illustrates the uneven distribution of male and female citizens over the city
area. The 2011 KMC population consists of 52.7% men and 47.3% women. The overall KMC
gender ratio (number of females per 1000 males) is 899 in 2011 up from 829 in 2001. However,
in the centre of town the gender ratio is much lower compared to the outskirts. In the central
areas many single young men, mostly migrant workers, live in shared apartments. The outer
areas are typically inhabited by families with children. As a result the central city boroughs IV and
V house less than 750 women per 1000 men, but most of the outer wards have gender ratios well
above 900. In borough X the number of women even exceeds the number of men.
Decreasing population densities, declining household sizes and increasing gender ratios as
recorded since the 1991 Census, indicate that the living conditions in Kolkata are steadily
improving. Nevertheless, a large number of city dwellers live in slums. A 2009 survey has
identified 5,511 slums in KMC with an average population of approximately 270 people per slum.
This illustrates that in KMC slums are in general not very big but there are very many small slums
scattered over the urban area.
Since the 1991 Census the percentage of KMC population living in slums is more or less constant
at 32% of the entire population. According to the 2001 Census a total number of 1,485,309
people lived in slums, which is 32.5% of the total population. This does not mean that people are
doomed to spend their entire lives in a slum. There is surely a certain degree of social mobility.
Many slum dwellers climb the social ladder and move to formal housing areas, but their place in
the slum is taken by migrants who come from the countryside to try their luck in the big city. The
following tables summarize some of the main population characteristics and trends as described
in this section.

6.3 Population projection
Before the latest annexations in January 1984, KMC consisted of 10 boroughs subdivided in 100
wards. After annexation, the added areas were subdivided in 5 boroughs and 41 wards making
the current total of 15 boroughs and 141 wards. This boundary change makes it difficult to
compare KMC Census data before and after 1984. Therefore, the population projections are
based on analysis of the 1991 and 2001 Census data and provisional 2011 Census results.
The boundaries of the 141 wards have not changed since 1984. However, the boundaries of the
boroughs have been changed quite frequently by shifting wards between boroughs. The latest
changes in borough boundaries were made in August 2010. This makes it also difficult to analyse
population data on the borough level. Therefore the population analysis and projections have
been based on the ward level data and accumulated to the borough level by using the same
borough boundaries throughout the years as is also done by the Census. Note that the actual
current borough boundaries are somewhat different.
Methods of population projection are many, such as:

• Compound Growth Rate Method.
• Arithmetical Projection Method.
• Incremental Increase Method.
• Geometrical Increase Method.
• Exponential Growth Rate Method
Incremental and exponential growth models are mainly used for young and fast growing cities
with almost no constraints for growth which is not applicable for KMC. Arithmetical projection is
mainly used for well-established old cities with limited growth potential and mostly saturated in
population density which is also not true for KMC. Geometrical methods are applicable for cities
with relatively large in-migration as compared to natural growth and high growth potential
combined with limited constraints for development. This method might be used for KMC. However,
the compound growth rate method, applied at the ward level is deemed most appropriate for KMC,
because the growth pattern is very diverse within the city.
Some wards show stabilization or negative growth because of saturation, and other wards still
have a high growth potential with relatively limited constraints. The inter-census population
growth data for 1991-2001 and 2001-2011 respectively show a relatively constant trend on the
ward level. Wards that experience declining growth in the period 1991-2001 mostly continue the
13
downward growth trend in the period 2001-2011. For quite a lot of wards this trend results in
negative growth during the last inter-census period. Wards with high growth potential, mostly in
the outer KMC areas, continue to grow throughout the entire period 1991-2011, but growth rates
are in general slowing down over the years because these wards started with very limited
population in 1991 meaning that growth percentages initially were very high but now that these
areas also have a substantial population base, the growth in absolute terms continues at the
same high levels, but the growth percentages decline. In other wards that have grown relatively
fast in the past, growth is slowing down because of physical limitations such as availability of
developable land. Some of the outer wards on the other hand still have a very large growth
potential because constraints that have hampered development until now are expected to be
removed in the future for instance by provision of infrastructure, by draining swampy marsh land,
etc. The compound growth method applied at the ward level captures this large variety in growth
dynamics best.
The compound growth method, applied at the ward level, results in a projected population of
4,560,887 people in KMC in year 2022, meaning a limited growth of 76,400 people (+1.70%%) as
compared to the 2011 population. The projection is summarized in the table below. As might be
expected, the population in the outer boroughs especially boroughs XI and XII would increase
substantially over the next ten years and the population in large parts of the core city area would
decrease.

It should be noted that projections always have a degree of uncertainty. Projections are based on
past trends and past development. However, the future may hold unexpected new economical,
technological or social developments that may change the growth perspective. For the long term
this uncertainty is bigger than for the short term. Aggregate data, such as projections for the
entire KMC area or for the boroughs, will also be more accurate than disaggregated data for
small areas such as wards. Therefore, the projections made for the period until 2022 are to be
14
considered as fairly realistic on the KMC level and the borough level. Disaggregate 2022
projections on the ward level will be less accurate. Projections up to year 2042 have a high
degree of uncertainty and should be seen as a long term development scenario that can serve to
test investment proposal. The table below presents the main population projections and
characteristics for year 2017 and 2022 and for base year 2011. The annexes to this report
present detailed projections per ward and for the longer term up to year 2042 in five year intervals.

7 KMC Urban service provision benchmarking
7.1 KMC 2011 baseline benchmark summary status
The Hand Book of Service Level Benchmarking of the Ministry of Urban Development,
Government of India, defines national benchmark targets for urban service provision. The 2011
status of the overall level of KMC service provision in the various sub-sectors as compared to the
major national benchmarks is summarized in the tables overleaf. A detailed description of current
and targeted service levels by subsector is provided in the subsequent chapters 8, 9 and 10.
Overall it appears that KMC still has a long way to go to arrive at the national service level targets.
However, compared to the national averages (as far as available) KMC compares in general
positive. For some of the benchmarks there is a big difference in service levels within the KMC
area. The water supply service level is distinctly different for the various water supply zones,
respectively supplied from Palta, Garden Reach, Jorabagan and Watgaunge Water Treatment
Plants or by ground water supply. The sewerage and drainage service level in the central city
area is distinctly different from the service quality in the outer areas. Therefore the tables overleaf
present a breakdown by service area for each of the major sub-sector service level indicators.

7.2 Water supply sub-sector benchmark status
7.2.1 Water supply main system characteristics
The existing water supply system in Kolkata city is very old. It was commissioned during the British
period and is under operation since 1865. Over the years, the system was extended and augmented
in stages to meet the increasing urbanization and related water demand. The water supply system
consists of 4 water treatment plants using surface water from the Hooghly River as raw water source,
transmission, storage and distribution to different parts of the city. A part of the city is served by
abstraction of ground water by several tube wells. There are 2 major water treatment plants. Palta
Water Treatment Plant serves most the northern and central boroughs and Garden Reach Water
Treatment Plant serves most of the southern boroughs. Two smaller plants Jorabagan and
Watgaunge, both serve a limited number of wards in the western KMC area near the Hooghly River.
About 10% of supply is from ground water. The table below summarizes the main features by supply
zone and the figure shows the location of the various supply zones.

7.2.2 Water supply baseline service levels as compared to benchmarks
Water supply coverage

The municipal piped water supply system covers almost 92% of the KMC population and has
consistently been extended over the years. The current coverage is higher than the national average
of 81% but 8% short of the 100% national target benchmark. The remaining 8% is currently served by
groundwater supply from individual in-house tube wells or by water tanker truck supply. Most of the
groundwater supply zone is near the periphery of the KMC area, and far from the surface water
source and therefore relatively difficult to service by the piped supply network.
Per capita supply of water

Water supplied at the consumer end in KMC is currently 599 MLD per day in total. There is shortage
of water at the consumer end, the main reason being lack of operational water treatment capacity,
transmission capacity and inadequacies in the distribution system. Present average per capita supply
for the entire KMC area is 134 liter per capita per day (lpcd), which is more than the national average
of 123 lpcd and nearing to national benchmark supply level of 150 lpcd for metropolitan cities.
However, the supply is very uneven, ranging from 90 lpcd in the groundwater supply zone to 144 lpcd
in the Palta Supply area. But even within each of the supply areas there are big differences in
distribution of water. In general areas near the main distribution reservoirs receive more water per
day than supply areas further down the line. Due to this uneven distribution some areas receive a per
capita supply as high as 310 lpcd and some areas receive only 40 lpcd.
Daily supply hours

The average daily water supply period in KMC is 8 hours and is intermittent. Supply hours are
different for the various supply zones, ranging from an average of 5 hours per day in the Garden
Reach supply zone to an average of 11 hours daily supply in the Palta service area. Supply hours
within each of the supply zones also show huge variations. The overall average of 8 hours daily
supply in KMC is above the national average of 4 hours per day but far below the national target
benchmark of 24 hours uninterrupted supply. A private household reservoir (such as a rooftop tank) is
compulsory as per KMC rules. Hence, the national benchmark target service level of 24 hours supply
is effectively achieved by KMC rules demanding consumer to construct a private reservoir with
sufficient storage capacity for 24 hours demand.
Metered connections
Bulk water is supplied to commercial and institutional units and also to domestic apartment blocks.
Bulk water supply connections are all metered. None of the domestic connections in KMC is currently
metered. This means that the total number of metered connections is less than 1% which is far below
the national average of 20%.
Unaccounted for water (UFW)

Presently there is no monitoring system of unaccounted for water (UFW). KMC estimates that UFW is
currently around 35%. In a report of UFW Study conducted by KMC in the year 2003 through French
consultants, UFW was found to be 40.7%. In another study as per Water for Indian cities:
Government Practices and Policy concern 2010, based on 62 wards of KMC, UFW is 42%. As per a
World Bank report, system loss (as part of overall UFW) was estimated to be 35% in Kolkata. Hence,
UFW is assumed to be 40% which is double the national average of 20%.
Quality of water supplied

The groundwater quality is a serious cause of concern because in some locations it is found to be
affected by arsenic. The quality of treated surface water supplied fully complies (100%) with
21
government standards and the national benchmark. However, at the consumer end loss of quality is
likely because of intrusion of contamination in the system due to limited supply hours and pressure
loss in the system, combined with widespread use of private water storage (rooftop) tanks.
Complaints handling
Efficiency in redressing customer complaints is facilitated by the KMC e-governance initiative which is
operational since 2010. Records and handling times are improving as a result. Currently it is
estimated that 95% of complaints received about the water supply service are satisfactorily redressed
within 24 hours, which is above the national benchmark target of 80%.
7.3 Sewerage and drainage sub-sector benchmark status
7.3.1 Sewerage and drainage main system characteristics
An organized underground sewer network was first introduced in Kolkata in 1859 covering the core
city areas located to the north of Dharmatala Street (presently Lenin Sarani) and west of Upper
Circular Road (today’s Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy Road), south of Circular Canal (Maratha ditch)
and east of Hooghly River. The area coverage of the underground drainage system at that time was
19 sq km. Subsequently, the areas located to the west of Upper Circular Road were also covered with
an underground drainage network. Development of an underground drainage network for southerly
areas was undertaken at the end of 19th century. During the second quarter of the 20th century, the
eastern part of the city, known as Manicktala area was sewered. The sewers constructed then were
mostly egg-shaped and of brick masonry construction. Up to the present day, sewers constructed in
that period are serving as the trunk mains for the city. This underground sewer system nowadays
covers the entire centre of the city (boroughs II-X) with a surface area of 85km2.
With progress of time, area coverage under Kolkata Municipal Corporation has increased. The last
municipal boundary change was in January 1984 when boroughs XI-XV were annexed. These large
annexed areas were until recently in general devoid of an organized underground drainage network.
Wherever underground sewers existed, they were mostly of inadequate carrying capacity. Areas
without underground drainage facilities are normally covered by a septic tank arrangement, with
effluent discharged to surface drains.
The ongoing KEIP Phase 1 project has constructed a combined sewer/drainage network in a large
part (65 km2) of these outer areas (boroughs I and XI-XV). However, 37km2 of the KMC outer areas
has not yet been provided with proper drainage/sewerage. The figure below shows the extent of
coverage of the central city system (white areas) the coverage of KEIP Phase 1 (brown areas) and
the KMC areas which are still devoid of an underground sewer system (green areas).
22
The entire KMC area may broadly be divided into two river catchments: the Hooghly River system
and the Kulti River system. Although the Hooghly River is flowing along the entire western boundary
of the city, the natural gradient of the city is east meaning that storm runoff from only a small portion
of the city discharges to the River Hooghly. Overall approximately 90% of the KMC area drains to the
East Kolkata Wetlands and the Kulti River system and 10% drains to the Hoogly River.
The KMC can be subdivided into nine major drainage basins viz. Kolkata Basin, Manicktala Basin,
Tolly’s Nullah basin, Topsia - Tangra Basin, Hooghly Basin, Bagjola Basin, Tollygunge -
Panchannagram (TP) Basin, Monikhali Basin and Churial Basin. The major drainage basins are
shown in the figure overleaf.
23
Kolkata Municipal Corporation has a combined sewerage and drainage system. Both the wastewater
from residential and commercial establishments and rainwater flows into the same network of
underground pipes. During the dry season the sewer network carries wastewater only. The
wastewater flows to sewage pumping stations from where it is pumped to the fringes of the town.
Most of the wastewater that is collected in this way (about 90%) receives no formal treatment and is
pumped into dedicated channels that lead into the East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW). Here the
wastewater is used as feeding material in fish farms that cover an area of approximately 4000
hectares. These fish farms effectively function as waste stabilization ponds. After passing through the
EKW the water flows to outfall channels that end up in the Kulti River.
The remaining 10% of the city’s wastewater is pumped into three sewage treatment plants: Bangur
STP in the north, South-Suburban East STP in the south and Garden Reach STP in the west. Here
the wastewater is treated before it is disposed in large drainage canals and on into the Hoogly River.
During periods of rains the sewer network also carries storm water. Normally this mix of wastewater
and rain water is pumped to the same fish ponds and the three treatment plants. However, at times of
heavy rainfall the sewage pumping stations are too small to handle the large flows. Because, at such
instances, the wastewater is very much diluted (about 90% to 95% of the mix is rainwater) it is
allowed to flow into storm water canals without treatment. There are two types of provisions. Firstly,
there are large storm water pumping stations at a few strategic locations, such as at Ballygunge,
Palmar Bazar and Dhapa Lock. Secondly, at many locations along the banks of the drainage canals,
there are gravity outfalls. During periods of heavy and prolonged rain the sewer networks fill up with
water. The gravity outfalls are designed in such a manner that the water can overflow from the sewer
network into the canals before the water can spill into the streets. The figure overleaf shows the main
features of the Kolkata sewerage and drainage system.

7.3.2 Sewerage and drainage baseline service levels as compared to benchmarks
Sewerage coverage
The Hand Book of service level benchmarking of the Ministry of Urban Development defines
sewerage coverage as the total number of properties with direct connection to an underground sewer
network as compared to the total number of properties. This definition excludes all people that use a
communal toilet facility such as in slum areas. It also excludes all properties where sewage is
discharged into surface drains that are connected to a collector sewer and a sewage treatment facility.
The latter two categories are substantial in KMC. In the core city area all properties, except the slums,
are directly connected to the underground sewer network, meaning a total number of 358,750
households directly connected which is equivalent to 75% of all households in the core city area. The
slum areas are in general served by communal toilets connected to septic tanks. In the outer areas
served by KEIP Phase 1 a total number of 70,000 house connections would be constructed once the
project is finalized in June 2012. This means a coverage of 22% of the total population in the KEIP
Phase 1 areas. In the outer areas not yet served house connections to underground sewers don’t
exist by lack of any underground sewer system, meaning 0% coverage. This brings the average total
for the entire KMC area at 44% as compared to the national target level of 100% but nevertheless it is
way above the national average of 28%.
Population with Toilets

According to the 2001 Census 96% of the KMC population has access to individual or community
toilets within walking distance in the service area. This compares favorably with the national average
of 82% and is near the national benchmark of 100%. Most of the KMC slum areas are provided with
communal toilet facilities within walking distance. Only 4% of the KMC population has no sanitation
facilities and uses gutters, open drains, channels or vacant land for sanitation. This is mostly in the
urban fringe areas where population densities are still relatively low. The 2011 Census results in this
respect are not yet available but it is likely that the percentage of the population without toilets would
further decrease over the years.
Sewage collection efficiency

The collection efficiency of sewage is 71%, which is higher than the percentage of people with direct
sewer connections because it also includes sewage collected through the interceptor sewer system.
The collection efficiency is around 90% in the core city area as well as in the KEIP Phase 1 areas.
The remaining outer areas have no formal sewer system yet and collection is zero.
Sewage treatment capacity

The treatment capacity of the existing treatment plants and the East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW) is
sufficient to serve the entire central city (100%) and the KEIP Phase 1 areas (100%). The total
average for KMC is 88% because the outer areas not yet served by KEIP Phase 1 generate 12% of
the waste water for the entire KMC.
Sewage treatment quality

The effluent quality at the outlets of the East Kolkata Wetlands and the existing treatment plants fully
comply with national norms.
Extent of re-use/recycling
The extent of re-use is very high because 90% of all sewage from KMC ends up in the fisheries of the
EKW where it serves as quality food for the fisheries. Effluent from other treatment facilities is partially
26
re-used for agricultural purposes before it finally discharges into the Hooghly River. On average 93%
of waste water generated in KMC is re-used, comparing very favourable to the national target of 20%.
Complaints handling
KMC daily receives around 7-10 complaints concerning the sewer system and approximately 65% is
redressed within 24 hours. Since 2010 KMC uses an e-complaint handling system as part of the e-
governance drive facilitating proper recording and handling of complaints.
Drainage coverage
The storm water drainage network in KMC covers 100% of the central city area of 85km2 and 100%
of the added areas is covered by KEIP Phase 1 (65km2). The total KMC surface area is 187km2,
meaning that overall coverage of the drainage network now extends to 80% of the KMC (150km2 out
of 187km2). This compares favourably to the national average coverage of 53% but is still 20% short
of the national target of 100% storm water drainage coverage.
Water logging incidents per year

Although the sewerage and drainage system has adequate capacity to convey the dry weather flow, it
does not have enough capacity to handle storm flows. A Sewerage and Drainage Master Plan for the
entire Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) area was prepared under KEIP Phase 1 in 2007 to
identify and quantify deficiencies and develop solutions for the short, medium and long term. The
S&D Master Plan provides an adequate basis for future planning and presents exhaustive
background information, technical details and calculations. The Sewerage and Drainage Master Plan
design rainfall intensity is a two months storm frequency interval, meaning that on average localised
flooding of 6 times per year is accepted. However, in reality flooding occurs more often and is
widespread during the monsoon season. According to the S&D Master Plan the actual capacity of the
central city storm water drainage network is only 50% of its design capacity due to siltation of sewers
and reduced operational pumping capacity because of ageing pumping equipment. As a
consequence the actual number of water logging incidents is more than the design capacity of 6
times per year in flood prone locations in the city centre. The outer areas covered under KEIP Phase
1 have also been designed at a 2 months storm frequency interval. From June 2012 the system
would fully operate in accordance with its design capacity, meaning that localized flooding should not
occur more than 6 times per year in these areas. The outer areas not yet served experience more
than 12 times localized flooding per year due to the total absence of any formal drainage system. This
brings the total average for the entire KMC area at more than 6 times per year of localized flooding.
This is more than the national target benchmark of zero incidents. However, this national target is
unrealistically high for the KMC situation, because it would require huge investments to increase the
capacity of the entire storm water drainage system, including sewer mains, pumping stations,
retention basins and outfall channels to upgrade the design standard accordingly.
7.4 Solid Waste Management sub-sector benchmark status
7.4.1 Solid Waste Management main system characteristics
The solid waste management system consists of three main components:

• Collection
• Transportation
• Disposal
27
Collection system
The majority (90%) of collection is done by KMC and 10% is contracted out to private contractors.
House-to-house (doorstep) collection has been introduced in 75% of the KMC area. Other areas are
served by street sweepers who operate manually. Many roads are too narrow to allow access for
motorized collection vehicles. Primary collection is mostly by open hand carts and delivery at
secondary collection sites (vats). There are 694 such collection points – 392 open vats and 302 bulk
containers or direct loading. Open vats are generally poorly managed with spillage of disposed waste
from the bulk containers or from open vat boundaries creating in most cases an unhygienic
environment. In 2011 source segregation has been introduced as a pilot project in 7 wards.
Transportation system
From secondary collection sites the waste is transported in trucks to the final disposal site. KMC
transports 30% of waste, while 70% of solid waste transportation is contracted out to the private
sector. Private contractors mostly use open trucks with a tarpaulin covering the waste. They make
about 600 trips per day carrying an average of about 5.5 MT per trip. The remaining 30% of the total
collected waste is transported by municipal vehicles making about 315 daily trips carrying on average
about 3.5-4.9 MT per trip. KMC has 125 tipper trucks and 137 dumper placers, 15 tractor trailers, 17
wheel loaders and 12 mechanical sweepers, 32 street sweeping/washing vehicles and 8 wrecker
vans daily in operation. KMC has eight garages where transportation vehicles are stationed. Major vat
points that accommodate garbage more than 30 MT are serviced from Dhapa garage with Pay
loaders and 11 m3 capacity Tipper Trucks. Other vats are serviced by manual loading vehicles and
Dumper placers. The street washing vehicles clean major thoroughfares every day. Three of the
refuse collector vehicles are engaged for cleaning wastes from 300 trash bins along sixteen major
roads.
Disposal
KMC has two waste disposal sites. The Garden Reach dumping ground is a small facility with little
remaining capacity. It receives currently about 10 MT/day of waste mainly from borough XV nearby.
The main dumping ground is at Dhapa in the east of KMC at approximately 8 km from the city centre.
This dump site is nearing its maximum capacity and has been authorized by West Bengal Pollution
Control Board to operate for one more year only. It received an average of 4286 MT/day solid waste
in 2011 out of which 300 MT/day was diverted to the privately operated Dhapa composting plant.
7.4.2 Solid Waste Management baseline service levels as compared to benchmarks
Door-to-door collection
In 2011 75% of the KMC area is served by a door-to-door collection system and 25% by street
sweeping. This compares favorably to the national average of 51% but is still far below the 100%
benchmark target. In the core city area 80% of the population is served by door-to-door collection. In
the outer areas this is less (60% - 70%). Collection frequency also differs. The central city and most
of the surrounding outer areas are served daily, but some of the lower density fringe areas are only
served once or twice per week.
Collection efficiency
KMC estimates that only 3% of waste generated is not collected but (illegally) disposed in channels,
vacant land and used for infill, meaning that collection efficiency is close to the national benchmark
target of 100%.
28
Waste segregation
In 2011 source segregation has been introduced as a pilot project in 7 wards (33, 47, 64, 103, 110,
115 and 130) covering only 4.4 % of the KMC population.
Waste recovery
Informal segregation takes place at all stages of waste processing. Status baseline 2011 is 13%
recycling and 7% composting making a total of 20%. Compared to the national target benchmark of
80% KMC still has a long way to go. In the central city area the level of waste recovery is higher (22%)
than in the outer urban areas (15%). Recycling is mainly practiced informally by rag pickers. The
privately operated composting plant at Dhapa processes 300 tonnes of biodegradable waste per day,
mainly collected from markets.
Scientific solid waste disposal

The extent of scientific disposal of solid waste is currently zero and should become 100% in
accordance with the national benchmark target. Both the Dhapa and the Garden Reach dump site are
not operated as sanitary landfill in accordance with national standards. There is no formal leachate
treatment, no proper soil cover and informal, unorganized rag pickers operate at the sites.
Complaints handling
Total number of complaints redressed within 24 hours as percentage of total complaints received
currently is 54% as per information received from KMC. This is short of the 80% national benchmark
target.

8.1 Water supply baseline 2011
Water supply baseline service level indicators status 2011

Indicator Status Remarks
2011
Coverage of 92% Currently the municipal piped water supply system covers around
water supply 4,125,000 people, which is almost 92% of the KMC population. The
remaining population of approximately 360,000 (=8%) is served by
groundwater supply from individual in-house tube wells or by water
tanker truck supply and is mainly found in the outer fringe areas.
Per capita water 134 lpcd Total water supplied at the consumer end in KMC is 599MLD. Total
supply population is 4,484,484. Per capita supply of water is 599,000,000 /
4,484,484 = 134 lpcd.
Extent of Non- 40% The extent of non-revenue water is assumed to be around 40% in
revenue water 2011, but is difficult to estimate because of overall lack of monitoring
data. The various supply zones have different levels of technical
losses. According to KMC officials main losses are in the distribution
system at the yard/house connection level and the public stand
posts. Technical loss (or real loss) is estimated at 30% consisting of
12% loss at the connection, 10% loss at public stand posts, 7% loss
in distribution mains and 1% loss in transmission mains. The
administrative loss (or apparent loss) caused by unauthorized
connections, water theft, etc is assumed at 10%.
Continuity of 8 hrs The average daily water supply period in KMC is 8 hours and is
water supplied intermittent, typically 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the late
afternoon. Supply hours are different for the various supply zones,
ranging from an average of 5 hours per day in the Garden Reach
supply zone to an average of 11 hours daily supply in the Palta
service area. Supply hours within each of the supply zones show
huge variations. Generally, the areas near the treatment plants and
main distribution reservoirs receive more hours of supply, even up to
20 hours a day, and the far end may receive only 4 hours supply per
day.
Residual 2.5m Currently the residual pressure varies widely. The average terminal
pressure pressure at the consumer end is around 2.5m of water head. In some
areas it ranges around 0.5m-1.0m of water head.
Complaint 95% KMC records 95% of complaints redressed within 24 hrs and 91%
handling even resolved within 3 hrs
Quality of water 98% The quality of treated surface water supplied fully complies (100%)
supplied with government standards. In some areas of KMC the groundwater
30
quality is a public health risk because sporadic occurrence of Arsenic

beyond the permissible limit (0.05mg/l) has been found in ground
water in a few locations in KMC. The concentration of arsenic varies
from 0.054mg/l to 0.71 mg/l.

Indicator Status 2011 Remarks
Number of 4 Water There are 2 major water treatment plants. Palta Water Treatment
water treatment Plant serves most the northern and central boroughs and Garden
treatment plants Reach Water Treatment Plant serves most of the southern
plants boroughs. Two smaller plants Jorabagan and Watgaunge both
serve a limited number of wards in the western KMC area near
the Hooghly River. About 10% of supply is from ground water
(without treatment).
Water 1900MLD Palta 1182 MLD installed capacity and 759 operational capacity;
production installed and Garden Reach 545 resp. 442 MLD; Jorabagan 36 resp. 36;
capacity 1374MLD Watgaunge 23 resp. 23; groundwater 114 resp.114 MLD. Total
operational installed capacity is 1182+545+36+23+114=1900 MLD and
capacity operational capacity is 759+442+36+23+114=1374 MLD
Tube wells 16,200 Private power driven tube wells

There are 5784 power driven tube wells abstracting ground water
within the KMC area. These are operated by the industries,
institutions, apartment block owners and are in general under
private ownership. High-rise apartment buildings for residential
purpose have come up particularly in extended areas of the city
where the surface water supply is either not available or
inadequate. These apartment blocks make their own arrangement
for water by sinking tube wells.
KMC power driven tube wells

In addition there are also 417 big diameter power-driven tube
wells operated by KMC. Most of the tube wells are directly
connected to local captive grids (that are not connected with the
overall city network) of pipelines to supply water in the adjoining
areas. In other instances, some of the tube wells are connected
with the primary/ secondary grid of the water distribution network.
Few large diameter tube wells are operated in the non-supply
hours just to maintain a minimum pressure head in the pipelines.
The power driven tube wells usually abstract water from the
aquifer 400-425 feet below ground level.
KMC shallow tubewells (with hand pump)

There are about 10,000 small diameter hand operated shallow
tube wells in KMC. These are provided by KMC to supplement the
stand post supply and also to meet the requirement of the weaker
section of the population where there is shortage of piped water
31
supply.
Reservoir 256ML Presently the reservoir capacity of KMC is 255.6 ML (150.6 ML for
capacity the Palta system+ 105 ML for Garden Reach).
Water supply 5840km Total length of the water pipe network is 5840km, consisting of
distribution 153km transmission pressure mains to reservoirs and pumping
pipes stations and 5687km distribution pipes under pressurized flow.
Many of the pipes in the central city distribution system are more
than 100 years old. Primary grids were laid as early as in the year
1860. The sizes of the mains in the secondary grid vary from
100mm to 200mm in diameter.
Water tanker 24 KMC operates 24 water tanker trucks with an average carrying
trucks capacity of 3600 liter. On an average these tankers make about
225 trips a day and supply about 8.1 mld of water per day to
various consumers. In addition tanker truck water supply is also
available for meeting bulk water requirements on special
occasions.
Number of 255,442 The current number of bulk water connections to commercial,

piped institutional units and also to domestic apartment blocks is 245
connections plus 8,865 commercial ferrule connections. There are currently
246,332 domestic connections. These connections should be
seen as yard connections typically serving many households. The
total number of households served is unknown. Total number of
piped connections is thus 246,332+8,865+245=255,442
Extent of 0.1% Bulk water supply to commercial, institutional units and also to
metering domestic apartments is all metered. The current number of bulk
water connections is 245. None of the 246,332 domestic
connections in KMC is metered. This means that the total number
of metered connections is far less than 1% of connections.
Public stand 16,000 There are approx. 16,000 public stand posts mainly serving the
posts urban poor in the slums who cannot afford a connection. One
stand post would normally serve a cluster of around 20
households and on top of that stand post are often used by
hawkers, taxi drivers and other people who make a living on the
road. A considerable portion of the stand post supply is wasted
thus contributing to unaccounted for water. Pressure is also very
low at the stand posts, ranging from 1.0m to 2.5m.

Remarks
1 Population in service area
Based on projected population growth KMC 2011-2022 (refer to previous chapters on population)
2 In year 2022 the entire KMC population should be served with piped water supply as compared to
92% in 2011.
3 Per capita water supply is currently 134 lpcd. The ambitious target for year 2022 set by KMC at
150 lpcd as for large metropolitan areas is feasible and realistic.
4 Reduction of unaccounted for water is essential for system sustainability. An overall reduction of
1% per year is a realistic target for KMC. This will bring the level of UFW down from currently 40%
to the national target of 20% by the year 2030. Reduction will mainly be achieved by an integrated
UFW reduction program targeting all causes of water losses with sub-targets as follows:
Causes of water loss 2011 2017 2022

House connections 12% 11.5% 11%
Stand posts 10% 8.5% 7%
Distribution mains 7% 6.5% 6%
Transmission mains 1% 1% 0%
Sub-total technical (real) loss 30% 27.5% 24%
Administrative (apparent) loss 10% 8.5% 6%
Grand total unaccounted for water 40% 36% 30%
5 Continuity of water supplied

Current supply is only 8 hours per day on average. The distribution system is under full pressure
for 8 hours and for 16 hours per day the distribution mains are in unpressurised condition. There
is a high chance of infiltration in the system through the leakages, which will lead to
contamination. To avoid infiltration the system should be filled with water 24 hours per day with
minimum pressure of 7m water column. This would not only reduce the chance of contamination,
but also reduce distribution pipe sizes. The target is to achieve 24 hour supply by year 2022.
6 Residual pressure
33
The residual pressure at consumer end is currently about 2.5m water head due to the fact that the
distribution pipes are old and incurs higher unit head loss. In order to increase the residual
pressure to 10m water head in 2022, old pipes (with lower C value) are to be replaced. KMC is
already on the job of identification and replacing of old pipes. In the last 5 years KMC has already
replaced about 350 km of distribution pipes.
7 Complaints redressed within 24 hours

As per KMC information 95% of complaints concerning water supply service delivery are currently
redressed within 24 hrs and 91% are even resolved within 3 hrs. Since 2010 KMC has an e-
complaint handling system as part of the e-governance drive. Records and handling times are
improving as a result and therefore a high target of 100% in year 2022 is ambitious but realistic.
8 Quality of water supplied.

By replacing groundwater supply with treated surface water in the period until 2022, the overall
water quality would improve and achieve 100% compliance with national standards.

Remarks
1 Number of water treatment plants
A new 136 MLD capacity water treatment plant is currently under construction in Dhapa (east
KMC) with support from JNNURM bringing the total to 5 water treatment plants before year
2017.
2 Installed water production capacity
Planned new capacity is 385MLD bringing the total installed production capacity at 2286MLD.
Addition of the new Dhapa plant will incresase the total installed by 136MLD. The ongoing
project for augmentation of the Garden Reach WTP will add 68MLD and the planned first
module of a new Garden Reach WTP will add another 181MLD.
However, the current groundwater supply with a capacity of 114MLD is included in this total and
it is assumed that groundwater usage will be phased out in the future because of groundwater
quality concerns. This brings the total installed capacity in year 2022 at 2172 MLD.
3 Operational water production capacity

Current operational capacity is low because of deferred maintenance in the treatment plants and
limited transmission capacity. It is assumed that by rehabilitation of treatment works and
improvement of the transmission system the operational capacity can be enhanced to a level
34
that meets the water demand in 2022.
4 Tube wells
The power driven tube wells usually abstract water from the aquifer 400-425 feet below ground
level. All these power driven tube wells will be discarded in year 2022. First of all this is done
because of public health concerns related to arsenic contamination. A second and not less
important reason to abolish all groundwater abstraction is to prevent lowering or even depletion
of the aquifer and thereby reduce the level of ground subsidence. The latter is regarded as an
important measure to reduce the risks associated with climate change. Kolkata is located in the
Ganges River delta at an average elevation of only 5m above sea level. In some locations the
elevation is even lower. Ground subsidence caused by groundwater abstraction would increase
flooding risks of the city because of sea level rise.
As per CGWB Booklet, projected allocation for domestic and industrial uses under KMC area is
320.43 mld. In pre-monsoon and post monsoon, depth to ground water level in confined aquifer
in use varies from 12.09 to 19.59m below ground level (blg) and 10.72 to 15.42m bgl
respectively.
There is a declining trend of ground water level to the tune of 0.33m/yr at the core of the trough
and 0.11 m/yr at the periphery. The long term trend of ground water level indicates a falling trend
in both pre and post monsoon period. There is fall of 7 to 11m in ground water level in the last 45
years from 1958 to 2003. Since 2005 KMC gradually started replacing the ground water supply
by surface water supply. As a result there is a reduction in the quantum of ground water
withdrawal by KMC tube wells since 2005. Some positive impact on the ground water levels is
already found. In 2006 ground water withdrawal by Kolkata Municipal Corporation owned tube
wells came down to 144.30 mld. Presently in 2011, as per KMC officials, ground water
withdrawal has been reduced to 114 mld.
KMC shallow tubewells (with hand pump)

It is assumed that most of the 10,000 small diameter hand operated shallow tube wells in KMC
would remain in operation throughout the planning period. The hand pumps supplement the
stand post supply and also meet the requirements of the weaker section of the population as
wells as street vendors, taxi drivers and other people who make a living on the road. These wells
use groundwater from a shallow aquifer that delivers acceptable water quality. As long as the
number of shallow wells is not increased, the shallow aquifer has sufficient capacity.
5 Reservoir capacity
Presently the zonal reservoir capacity of KMC is 255.6 ML (150.6 ML for Palta + 105 ML for
Garden Reach). Required zonal reservoir volume for future demand is 300 ML. Additional zonal
reservoir capacity of 45 ML is needed. Number, sizes and locations of new reservoirs will be
decided after analysis and rezoning of the distribution and secondary transmission system.
Sub-zonal reservoirs (overhead tanks or OHT) are proposed for balancing incoming water from
zonal reservoir and distribution requirement. Pumping from zonal reservoirs to sub-zonal
reservoir would be for 18 hours a day. One OHT per ward is proposed with an average capacity
of 1.2 ML each making a total of 170 ML for 141 wards. Average diameter would be 21m and
staging height 24 m. The shape may be circular or rectangular or other regular shape depending
of land availability. Sites have yet to be identified in detailed study for rezoning of the distribution
system. Approximate area requirement is 35mx35m for each OHT.
6 Water supply distribution pipes

Currently the total length of the water pipe network is 5840km, consisting of 153km transmission
35
pressure mains to reservoirs and pumping stations and 5687km distribution pipes under
pressurized supply. The system covers 92% of KMC. For 100% coverage roughly 6000km of
distribution pipes would be needed in total in year 2022.
7 Water tanker trucks

Currently KMC operates 24 water tanker trucks. It is assumed that the need for water supply by
tanker truck will decrease as the coverage of the piped water supply system increases over time.
However, a limited fleet of 16 tanker truck in the year 2022 remains needed to supply water for
emergencies and for meeting bulk water requirements on special occasions.
8 Number of piped connections

Total number of domestic connections is expected to increase from 246,332 in year 2011 to
488,660 in year 2022, meaning an increase of 242,328 house connections. In 2011 the number
of bulk connections stands at 245 and this would increase to 2450 bulk connections in 2022. In
2011 there are 8,865 commercial ferrule connections and this would increase to 10,638 by year
2022. The total number of piped connection would thus increase from 246,332 + 245 + 8,865 =
255,442 in year 2011 to 488,660 + 2450 + 10,638 = 501,748 in year 2022.
9 Extent of metering
Bulk water is supplied to commercial and institutional units and also to domestic apartments.
Connections provided for the purpose is termed as ‘Bulk water connection’. The current number
of metered bulk water connections is 245. Apart from these, there are 8,865 unmetered
commercial ferrule connections. It is assumed that by 2022 the number of bulk connections with
32mm connection size will be 2450 and the number of commercial connection with 25mm
connection size will be 10,600. All bulk and commercial connection are proposed to be metered.
Individual house connections are to be metered after 2022.
10 Public stand posts

There are 16000 public stand posts within KMC mainly serving the slum population. Water
wastage at these public stand posts is high due to uncontrolled flow. In some slum areas, where
space is available and people are willing to connect, individual house connections would be
provided replacing public stand posts. To further reduce water wastage it is proposed to replace
most of these stand posts by over ground reservoirs with multiple controlled outlets by taps. The
height of water in the over-ground reservoir shall be limited to 2.5m from ground level, and the
height of the outlet tap shall be not more than 1.5m from ground level. This means that with 10m
(even 7m) residual pressure, there will be adequate pressure at the outlet taps. Water would be
supplied to the over-ground reservoir from the sub-zone reservoir through the distribution
network. It is possible to install water meters in the slum connection for measuring of UFW and
Water audit. Metering is proposed after year 2022, as a general principle desired by KMC.
However, public stand posts would still be needed to serve hawkers, taxi drivers and other
people who make a living on the road. It is assumed that the total number of public stand post
will be reduced to 11,200 in year 2022.

connections in the entire KMC area at
358,762+70,000=428,762 households. The average
household size in 2011 is 4.61, meaning that the total

area. Treatment capacity is not available to outer areas
not yet served by a formal sewer system, especially those
areas where natural flow of discharge is not to the EKW
but to Hooghly River. These un-served outer areas
generate approximately 12% of waste water, meaning that

road length In addition existing surface drains in KMC have a total length is
950 Km. The KEIP Phase 1 Slum Improvement Program includes
construction of 28 km surface drains of which 20 is widening and
8 km is new drains. This brings the total length of the surface
drainage network after completion of KEIP Phase 1 at 958km.
The 2011 combined length of the underground and surface
drainage network thus stands at 2,736km (=1,778+958).
The 2011 total KMC road length is 4,200km (Source: Unit Area

required capacity of 667m3/s. The total operational capacity is thus
667 + 872/2 = 1103 m3/s. The remaining KMC surface area not yet
served by drainage is 37km2. The operational capacity is only 58%
(=1103/1918) of the required capacity for the entire KMC area.
Drainage 3,006km According to the S&D Master Plan (2007) the total underground
Networks (km) sewer length is 1,400 km. The KEIP Phase 1 has constructed 378
km new underground sewers. The total length of the underground
sewer network in 2011 stands at 1,778km (=1,400 + 378).
In addition existing surface drains in KMC have a total length is 950
Km. The KEIP Phase 1 Slum Improvement Program includes
construction of 28 km surface drains of which 20 is widening and 8
km is new drains. This brings the total length of the surface drainage
network after completion of KEIP Phase 1 at 958km.
The 2011 combined length of the underground and surface drainage
network thus stands at 2,736km (=1,778+958).
In addition the total length of open drainage channels serving the
KMC area is 270km meaning that the drainage network has a total
length of 2,736+270= 3,006km.
Area of 80% Total KMC area is 187km2. Area covered under drainage before
coverage KEIP Phase 1 was 85km2. KEIP Phase 1 covers 65km2 previously
unsewered outer areas. Total area covered in 2011 is thus
85+65=150km2, which is 80% (=150/187) of the total KMC surface
area. Remaining unsewered outer areas not yet covered is 37 km2
in total.
Population in 3,984,485 Population covered under drainage includes all population in the
the area of (= 89%) core city area (=2,490,245 people) and in the KEIP Phase 1 areas
coverage (=1,494,240). Total population covered under drainage is 3,984,485
(=2,490,245+1,494,240) which is 89% of the total 2011 KMC
population. Total 2011 KMC population is 4,484,484. Population not
yet covered in KMC is 500,000 people (=4,484,484-3,984,485).
Number of 80 There are 6 canal pumping stations serving to discharge SWF (4 in

pumping Chow Bhaga; 1 in Monikhali and 1 in Keorapukur). Another 20
stations combined pumping stations are operated to discharge DWF and
SWF combined. There are 54 specific DWF pumping station. The
total number of operational pumping stations thus is 80 (= 6+20+54)

Remarks
1 Population with direct sewer connection
In base year 2011 a total number of 428,762 households have a direct connection to the sewer
network. The average household size in 2011 is 4.61, meaning that the total population with direct
connection to the underground sewer network in KMC in 2011 is 1,976,593 people
(=428,762x4.61).
The KEIP Phase 1 has created 70,000 new sewer house connections in the outer areas. For the
period up to 2022 it is assumed that connecting a similar number of houses to the sewer network
is a realistic assumption. Therefore the 2022 target is to have 500,000 households directly
connected to the sewer network, meaning a total of 71,238 new sewer connections. Household
size is expected to decrease from 4.61 in 2011 to 4.20 in 2022. As a result the number of people
directly connected to the sewer network in year 2022 is 4,20 x 500,000 = 2,100,000
2 Population in service area

Based on projected population growth KMC 2011-2022 (refer to previous chapter on population)
3 Volume of wastewater collected

Extension of (interceptor) trunk sewers to currently un-served areas will ensure that almost all
waste water produced will be collected (95%). A small portion of the population will continue to
remain un-served. According to the 2001 Census 10% of the KMC population has no sanitation
(4%) or uses service latrine (6%). The 2011 Census data are not yet available, but it is likely that
this percentage will decrease over time. It is assumed that by 2022 the percentage of the
population using no sanitation or service latrines will be reduced to 5% only.
41
4 Treatment capacity available

Treatment capacity in 2022 should be sufficient to treat all waste water collected, which is 95% of
wastewater produced; 5% of waste generation remains uncollected, because 5% of the 2022
population has no sanitation or a service latrine. Additional Sewage Treatment Plants and
augmentation of existing plants up to a total additional treatment capacity of 131.5MLD is required
especially for areas discharging into the Hooghly River, plus additional use of the EKW potential
for the eastern KMC areas.
5 Effluent samples quality

Target is to sustain at current high level quality.
6 Percentage of waste water reused

The current percentage of reuse, mainly by the fisheries in the EKW area is already very high and
should be sustained. Further increase is deemed unrealistic.
7 Complaints redressed within 24 hours

As per KMC information daily 7-10 complaints are received and about 5-6 complaints will be
redressed (approximately 65%). Since 2010 KMC has an e-complaint handling system as part of
the e-governance drive. Records and handling times are already improving as a result and
therefore a relatively high target of 90% in year 2022 is ambitious but realistic.

Remarks
1 Volume sewerage treatment plants
An additional capacity of 131.5 MLD is required to treat sewage from currently un-served areas.
This is to be achieved by construction of 4 additional sewerage treatment plants at 92 MLD
capacity (resp. 22MLD+40MLD+10MLD+20MLD) plus augmentation of the existing SSE plant
from currently 45 MLD to 72 MLD (additional 32 MLD) plus rehabilitation of an existing dis-
functional STP at 7.5MLD. Total additional capacity is 92+32+7.5=131.5MLD.
2 Volume sewerage treatment EKW

Currently the EKW receives only 966MLD. The eastern outer areas (boroughs VII, XI and XII)
require additional treatment capacity of 110MLD, meaning a total discharge of 1076 MLD in 2022.
According to Wrigley Report the EKW could easily absorb 1200MLD, probably even more.
3 Sewer network length
42
For the currently unsewered KMC area of 37km2 construction of a total network is required of
650km sewers, consisting of 168 km trunk (600mm and above) and 482km secondary sewers
(below 600mm).
4 HH connected to septic tanks

The total number of households in 2011 is 691,020 and in 2022 is projected at 1,084,668.
Although the population growth is very limited, the number of households increases substantially
because of decreasing household size. The target for direct sewer connections in 2022 is 500,000
households, which is realistic. A small portion of the population has no sanitation or uses service
latrines. For 2022 this is estimated at 5% which is approximately 54,000hh. All other households
(1,084,668-500,000-54,000=530,668hh) use septic tanks.
5 HH connected to underground sewers

It is assumed that approximately 5% of all households (54,000hh) will have no sanitation or use
service latrines in 2022. All other households (1,030,668) will be connected to the sewer system.
A total of 500,000 households will have a direct connection to the sewer system and sewage from
the remaining 530,668 hh will be discharged into septic tanks. The outflows of the septic tanks will
be intercepted by the sewer system and directed to treatment facilities It is expected that
gradually and continuing after 2022 the existing septic tanks would be by-passed and abandoned
and more direct connections to the sewer network would be made.

O&M manuals for sewerage and drainage have been prepared during KEIP Phase 1, but have not
yet been formally approved and adopted by KMC. After completion and formal approval the O&M
manuals should be implemented and staff be trained accordingly.

Hence, in 2022 the total length of sewers and surface drains will become 2736 + 650 = 3386km.
43
The total road length in 2011 is 4200km. It is assumed that because of ongoing land
development, especially in the outer wards, and increasing motorized traffic volumes the total
road length will be extended over the years and will increase by approximately 10% in ten years
time to a total length of 4620km in year 2022.
2 Total road length

Sub-sector roads not included in KEIP Phase 1. Total road length: refer to previous section.
3 Population covered under drainage

Target is to cover the entire KMC population under drainage in year 2022 (4,560,887 people)
4 Areas covered under drainage

After completion of KEIP Phase 1, 150km2 of KMC surface area is covered under drainage.
Target is to cover the entire KMC surface area of 187km2 under drainage in year 2022. Additional
coverage required is 37km2
5 Annual water logging frequency

Master Plan design rainfall intensity is taken at two months storm frequency rainfall. Actual
capacity is only 50% in the central city area due to siltation and limited pumping capacity. Hence
the actual number of water logging incidents is more than the design capacity of 6 times per year
in flood prone locations. In areas yet not served by a formal drainage system waterlogging is even
more frequent. In 2022 the entire KMC area should have a proper drainage system and the
drainage network should function at design capacity meaning a maximum annual flooding risk of 6
times per year.

Remarks
1 Capacity of drainage
In 2022 the target is to serve the entire KMC area with a formal drainage system designed and
maintained for a 2 months rainstorm frequency. Most important interventions to achieve the
targeted service level is the extension of the drainage network to un-served outer wards (37km2),
the desiltation and rehabilitation of the core city drainage network, refurbishment of core city
pumping stations and most of all proper and adequate routine maintenance.
Rehabilitation of the core city network to its design capacity would add 50% (+436m3/s) to the
current operational capacity. For the un-served outer wards (37km2) additional drainage capacity
of 379m3/s is required. Total additional capacity in 2022 as compared to the baseline situation in
44
2011 would be 436 + 379 = 815m3/s
2 Drainage network length

In 2011 the total length of the underground and surface drainage network is 2,736km. In addition
there are 270km of drainage canals making a total drainage network of 3,006km.
(below 600mm).
Hence, in 2022 the total length of sewers, surface drains and canals will become 2736 + 650 +
270 = 3,656km.
3 Area of coverage
Additional coverage of currently unsewered areas is 37km2
4 Population in area of coverage

Total KMC population will be covered in 2022 (4,560,887 people)
5 No of pumping stations
To achieve the target service levels pumping capacity should be increased. This would be done
by augmentation of 13 existing pumping stations, construction of 13 new main pumping stations
and construction of 4 small pumping stations.

Population covered by daily 75% In year 2011 75% of the KMC area is covered by the
doorstep collection system doorstep collection system (serving 3,363,400 people) and
25% of the area by street sweeping and direct loading
(serving 1,121,100 people). In 98% of the KMC area waste
is collected daily and in the remainder it is collected once
or twice a week.
Total waste collected vs. total 97% KMC estimates that of total waste generated (4430
waste generated tons/day) only approximately 3% (130 tons / day) is not
collected but (illegally) disposed in channels, vacant land
and used for infill.
Percent of households and 4% In 2011 source segregation has been introduced as a pilot

Extent of recovery (waste 20% Informal segregation takes place at all stages of waste
processing & recycling processing. Newspapers, paper board, packaging boxes,

traditionally kept separately in households/business and
commercials establishments and are sold periodically to
vendors for such recyclable material. There is no estimate
about the quantity of such recycled material. Doorstep
collectors of household waste and street sweepers
routinely segregate recyclable material especially plastic,
paper and boards etc and remove them before they are
disposed in secondary collection points (vats) in the city.
Large vats are regularly rummaged by rag pickers to
segregate recyclable waste. Upon arrival at the Dhapa
dumping ground about 4% of waste, representing the
remaining recyclable fraction is recovered by rag pickers.
As a result it is estimated that 13% of waste is removed
before it is finally disposed. Biodegradable waste from
major markets at a total of 300 tons per day representing
7% of total waste is collected separately and transported
to Dhapa compost plant. This means that currently 20% of
total waste collected is recovered (13% recycling and 7%
composting).

in year 2022.
48
2 Total waste collected vs. total waste generated

In 2011 only 97% of waste is collected and this would increase to 100% in 2022.
3 Percent of households and establishments that segregate their waste

In 2011 source segregation covers only 4.4 % of the KMC population. In 2022 the segregation is
expected to expand considerably, covering 40% of the population and establishments. A higher
percentage would be too optimistic considering the current low level of segregation.
4 Extent of recovery (waste processing & recycling facilities) of waste collected

Status baseline 2011 is 13% recycling and 7% composting = 20% of total waste received at the
final disposal site. Target 2022 is to increase the extent of recovery to 20% recycling and 40%
composting = 60% of total waste. The national benchmark target of 80% is deemed too ambitious
for Kolkata considering the current low levels of recovery.
5 Amount of waste that is disposed as per national standards

Target 2022 is 100% of the generated waste to be disposed scientifically in a new sanitary land fill
site at Dhapa of 17.7 Ha area with a life span of 10 years as approved by WBPCB and EKWMA.
6 Total number of complaints redressed within 24 hours

Since 2010 KMC has an e-complaint handling system as part of the e-governance drive. Records
and handling times are already improving as a result and therefore a relatively high target of 90%
in year 2022 is ambitious but realistic.

Intermediate targets for year 2017
In general KMC intends to replace collection equipment as and when required based on
availability of funds, depreciation of existing equipment and possible opportunities for
contracting out of part of the collection and transportation operations. Apart from depreciation
this depends on actual operation and maintenance costs of depreciated equipment and
availability of spare parts. As an overall target for year 2017 it is assumed that 50% of the
existing (2011) collection equipment will be scrapped by 2017 and 50% of the 2022 target
equipment will be procured and operational in year 2017.
For the disposal sites the 2017 target is to have the new 17.7ha Dhapa site fully operational as a
sanitary landfill and to have the existing Dhapa site as well as the existing Garden Reach dump
site properly closed. The privately operated composting plant should operate at its design
capacity of 500 tonnes per day in year 2017.
1 Collection equipment
Presently mixed waste (bio-degradable, part recyclable and inert) is collected by open handcart
from residential, institutional/commercial and market area and brought to secondary collection
points. KMC envisages procurement and deployment of modernized collection equipment
mainly replacing open collection carts and tricycles by containerized closed vehicles. Besides,
KMC intends to gradually extend the use of private contractors for waste collection.
2 Transportation equipment/vehicles
KMC envisages procurement and deployment of modernized equipment and various types of
compactors at secondary collection points to reduce the volume of collected waste, reduce
space requirement for vat and consequently to reduce the number of trips by transportation
vehicles.
Currently 70% of solid waste transportation from secondary collection sites to the final disposal
site is contracted out to private contractors. KMC transports the remaining 30% of waste to the
final disposal site. In the planning period up to 2022 KMC intends to gradually increase the
share of the private sector in the transportation of waste and thus minimizing the need to
procure new transportation vehicles for replacement of the current vehicle fleet.
3 Sewer cleaning equipment

Sewer cleaning equipment has just been procured as part of KEIP Phase 1 and will continue to
be operated throughout the planning period.
4 Disposal sites
4A Dhapa
Dhapa landfill is a very large site but it is nearing its capacity and development of a new site is
urgently required. Total remaining capacity is approximately just enough for one more year at an
average disposal of 4286 ton per day in 2011. KMC intends to close both the previous and the
existing site. For closure of the previous Dhapa site the IBRD has committed financial
assistance. Closure of the existing landfill and development of a new sanitary landfill, including
procurement of equipment, at Dhapa would provide sufficient capacity for approximately ten
years. It would cover an area of 17.75 ha as approved by WBPCB and EKWMA, with an
average height of 15 m (Ref: KMC Document titled DPR on Integrated Waste Management
Facilities at Dhapa for Kolkata City). For the long term KMC wants to develop a 210ha plot of
land at Beonta Mouza that would provide sufficient dumping capacity for a period of 30 years.
51
4B Composting plant
The existing privately operated composting pant at Dhapa handles 300 tonnes per day but has a
capacity of 500 tonnes per day. Constraint is currently the lack of good quality biodegradable
material supply. As more segregation at the source will take place, the quantity of segregated
biodegradable waste delivered at the composting site in Dhapa will increase.
Enhancement of present capacity of the existing compost plant to 1000 TPD within the present
factory premises is feasible and has been envisaged by the private operator.
4C Garden Reach dump site

The Garden Reach landfill is a small site with very limited capacity and is nearing its limit as
well. Operation at Garden Reach is not in accordance with national standards for sanitary
landfill. In the near future the KMC plans to use this site only for disposal of silt and debris until it
is completely filled up and then proceed with proper closure. By 2022 the site will not be
operated anymore.
