Village Water & Sanitation Committee: Every JJM village has a VWSC that runs the local water system — at least half the members are women. Five women in each village are trained to test water quality using Field Test Kits.
What you pay: ₹30-50 per month per household to the VWSC for operations, electricity, and minor fixes. PHED handles major repairs at no cost to you.
If something is wrong: Water discoloured, pressure low, or suspect contamination? Report to your VWSC first, then PHED. Both are responsible for fixing it.
What you get: A piped tap connection delivering 55 litres of drinking water per person per day — right to your home.
How to apply: Contact your Gram Panchayat, VWSC, or nearest PHED office in Ukhrul. Priority given to water-scarce habitations, SC/ST hamlets, and drought-prone villages. There is no application fee.
After connection: Pay a small monthly maintenance fee (₹30-50) to your Village Water & Sanitation Committee (VWSC). The VWSC — which must include at least 50% women members — operates the system. PHED handles major repairs.
Water quality: PHED tests water from all JJM schemes. You can request a free water test at your nearest PHED lab if you suspect any issue.
