PHED opens Bisalpur water connections for west Jaipur suburbs
State public health engineering department (PHED) has opened applications for new Bisalpur drinking water connections across Sanganer, Bagru, Jhotwara, and Vidyadhar Nagar under the Jaipur-Bisalpur 2.0 package for Prithviraj Nagar and adjoining suburbs. The phased rollout, scheduled for completion by December 2026, aims to serve a projected population of 4.62 lakh residents.
Approved on July 4, 2023, the Rs 747.08-crore Prithviraj Nagar water supply scheme includes 46 elevated service reservoirs and an extensive pipeline network. Officials said 45 reservoirs have been completed and 2,342 km of pipeline laid at a cost of Rs 407.60 crore. Work on the final reservoir at Pawanpuri West is underway and scheduled for completion by the end of October 2026.
After applications are processed and connections approved, PHED will begin supplying water to households. The initiative is expected to significantly lower reliance on water tankers and improve supply pressure across previously underserved localities.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The opening of applications marks a shift from infrastructure construction to consumer delivery for the Prithviraj Nagar scheme, which has completed 45 of 46 reservoirs. The remaining reservoir at Pawanpuri West and the processing of applications are the two immediate hurdles before households in Sanganer, Bagru, Jhotwara and Vidyadhar Nagar receive water. PHED’s December 2026 deadline for full rollout will test whether the department can convert pipeline connections into actual household supply across a population of 4.62 lakh that has long relied on tubewells and tankers.
