# French firm SUEZ surveys over 1 lakh Kochi households for water supply overhaul 2026-08-09T20:47:07+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet SUEZ, a French firm, has completed a door-to-door consumer survey of over one lakh households in Kochi Corporation to identify water-supply issues and assess demand. The company, which took over operation and maintenance of the Kerala Water Authority pipeline network earlier this year, is also conducting topographical and walkthrough surveys of the network. Three additional surveys are underway: structural assessment of water-supply assets, water-flow measurement, and condition assessment of existing infrastructure. The project, funded by the Asian Development Bank at ₹1,141.28 crore, will use these findings to design a new pipeline network. KWA expects up to 2.25 lakh households in the zone, with the consumer survey continuing for two more months. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: ADB, infrastructure, Kerala Water Authority, Kochi, SUEZ, water supply Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/french-firm-suez-surveys-over-1-lakh-kochi-households-for-water-supply-overhaul/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
