Initially APMC,Nagpur use to receive the water supply from Nagpur Municipal Corp. As the requirement was more and the supply was meager the necessity of independent water supply scheme was initiated by the founder members of APMC, in consultation with Maharashtra Jivan Pradhikaran, Nagpur.
Under this scheme, with the construction of Intake well in Kanhan river and jackwell on its bank, a 17 K.M. long MS pipe line was run upto market yard by construction headwork’s. Due to this achievement, a water purification plant of one million liters per day was installed at the market yard.
This water is stored in two sumps of 6.5 lack liters each and distributed on the yard through two overhead tanks of capacity 2.5 lack liters. Due to the installation of independent water supply scheme, the market yard has sufficient availability of water without being dependent on N.M.C.,Nagpur.
