Operation & Maintenance of Projects under Jal Jeevan Mission
The Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), launched in 2019 by the Government of India, is a transformative program to ensure every rural household has tap water access by 2028. Rooted in the vision of “Har Ghar Jal”, the mission represents a shift toward equitable access, improved public health, and enhanced rural quality of life.
In Uttar Pradesh, the State Water and Sanitation Mission (SWSM) is deploying:
- Automated tubewells for groundwater extraction
- Solar/grid-powered pumping stations
- Online chlorination systems for disinfection
- Water quality sensors for real-time monitoring
- Centralized SCADA systems for supervision and control
But while physical infrastructure is foundational, sustained delivery is where the mission’s impact is realized—and that’s where Operation & Maintenance (O&M) becomes mission-critical.
Why O&M is Central to the Success of JJM
Building infrastructure is capital-intensive. Maintaining it is service-intensive.
| Function | Impact |
| Daily Operations | 24×7 uninterrupted supply |
| Preventive Maintenance | Fewer breakdowns, longer asset life |
| Data Monitoring | Real-time alerts, remote decision-making |
| Quality Control | Chlorine and turbidity monitoring |
| Cost Efficiency | Reduced manual labor, energy optimization |
| Trust | Reliable delivery improves public confidence |
Key O&M Objectives Under JJM
- Smooth Operation of Solar/Grid Pumps: Logic-based scheduling for 24×7 reliability
- Vendor Coordination: For defect resolution, warranty replacements, and OEM-based servicing
- Single Point Accountability: One service provider overseeing field ops, vendors, and compliance
- Preventive & Corrective Maintenance: Routine inspections and emergency repairs across mechanical, electrical, and civil assets
- SCADA Monitoring: Pressure, turbidity, and chlorine level tracking via centralized dashboards
- Water Quality Automation: Triggered dosing based on turbidity sensors (≤ 5 NTU) and chlorine analyzers (< 2 ppm)
- Compliance & Reporting: API-based uploads to SWSM for billing and audits
