MEASURES UNDERTAKEN TO IMPROVE THE WATER QUALITY

OVER SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY JURISDICTION

Kolkata, 20th September 2026

In order to improve the availability, quality and cleanliness of drinking water and other water-supply arrangements at stations over South Eastern Railway, various maintenance, cleaning, testing, and corrective measures have been undertaken. The major activities undertaken are detailed below: –

As part of the ongoing initiative, regular inspections of water sources, treatment and filtration plants, underground and overhead water tanks, PVC tanks, water booths, taps and water-dispensing points are being carried out across all sections. Out of 24,033 water tanks, 14,248 tanks (59.23%) have already been cleaned

 

To address deficiencies in water-supply infrastructure, 167 locations have been identified for necessary attention. Damaged water tanks, pipelines and filters at 39 locations are being replaced on priority, while works at 33 locations are presently in progress. Further, Pipelines at 81 locations have already been attended to for repair/replacement.

Special attention is also being given to water filtration arrangements. Out of 55 pressure/gravity filters, 52 have been attended to and cleaned. The filters were thoroughly cleaned to remove accumulated dirt and impurities, and defective filter components/equipment were replaced wherever required. The functioning of the filtration arrangements has also been checked.

There are 63 chlorination plants available over South Eastern Railway, and all 63 plants have been attended to. The chlorination arrangements and associated equipment were inspected, and chlorine dosing was regulated wherever necessary to ensure proper and adequate chlorination of the water supply.

For effective maintenance of water coolers and purification units, a comprehensive Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) is operational across SER. Scheduled maintenance and cleaning of storage water tanks are being carried out on a monthly basis. Field staff are also taking immediate corrective action to arrest leakage from water coolers, taps and fittings, thereby reducing water wastage.

 

Water quality monitoring is being carried out in coordination with the Health/Medical Department. A total of 1,561 water samples for Residual Chlorine Level (RCL), 283 samples for bacteriological testing and 21 samples for chemical testing have been collected as per the laid-down guidelines/protocol. Regular physical inspection and testing of water, including RCL, bacteriological and chemical parameters, are being undertaken to ensure the quality and suitability of supplied water.

 

In addition, continuous preventive inspection is being carried out covering water sources, treatment and filtration plants, OH/UG steel, RCC and PVC water tanks, water-supply pipelines, piping systems and associated components. Water quality monitoring and sample testing, along with inspection of hand pumps and borewell systems, are also being undertaken regularly. Deficiencies identified during inspections are being attended to on priority.

 

Overall, regular inspection, preventive maintenance, cleaning, repair/replacement, chlorination and water quality monitoring are being carried out across SER to ensure reliable availability of safe and hygienic water supply

facilities at stations.
