To supply sufficient drinking water to residents of Phuentshogling town, the government is looking at providing filtered water from the Amochhu. This is a part of the government’s Water Flagship Programme which will also reduce the cost of supplying water to the town.

Under the project, the Works and Human Settlement Ministry recently carried out an assessment for the riverbank filtration of the Amochhu Water Treatment Plant.

The assessment for the river bank filtration was carried out last week with experts from Germany.

The Ministry says it will take a few weeks for the report which is being prepared by the German counterparts to be ready.

The site for pumping water and riverbank filtration has already been identified jointly by the Phuentshogling thromde and the Works and Human Settlement Ministry.

After the assessment, the Department of Geology and Mines will carry out a hydrological assessment which will determine the quality and quantity of the river and the river bed. Gross National Happiness Commission (GNHC) officials say the report will be ready by June.

During a site visit by the flagship secretariat last month, it was found that the main water transmission line for the Amochhu scheme falls along the road and the new township area which is not yet well developed. It was also found that the area identified for the pipeline from the source may be prone to landslides and get affected by river dredging. GNHC officials say the Project Engineer has, however, provided assurance on the stability.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister said works should be carried out according to the severity of water shortage. The project has a total approved budget of over Nu 300 M.
