Identify the serving body
Depending on location, water supply and sewerage may be provided by a municipal body, a development authority, an estate authority or not at all. In parts of Gurugram, metropolitan infrastructure is also handled by GMDA. Confirm for the specific parcel.
Checklist
- Existing water and sewer connections, account numbers and capacity.
- Storm-water drainage and site levels.
- Trade-effluent quantity and quality for your process.
- Whether your activity needs consent from the State Pollution Control Board for discharge.
- Whether you will rely on groundwater (see the groundwater guide).
Who decides
The serving body grants connections; the Pollution Control Board decides consents; engineers design treatment and plumbing systems.
