New Rs 60cr treatment plant to resolve Bicholim’s water issues, says Sawant

Panaji: Chief minister Pramod Sawant on Monday said that a new Rs 60 crore water treatment plant (WTP), sourcing water from the Amthane dam, will be ready within a year. He said the project will help meet all the water requirements in Bicholim.

“This will ensure water supply to the entirety of the Bicholim constituency,” Sawant said after inspecting the Amthane dam on Monday. “A maximum of four panchayats and one industrial estate will be self-sufficient in water supply once the project is ready,” he said.
