Ensuring Water quality
Auroville Water Service (AWS) is creating a core service for Auroville, supplying water 24 hours X 7 days, without any disruption. AWS started to offer this service from the year 2000 with 8 communities and a "Residential Zone Water System". At present it covers 60% of Auroville water supply, approximately 30 communities and 910 users. Main advantages of this water system are: continuously monitoring the water quality, 24/7 delivery, pressure regulation, minimizing of water losses. In 2018 AWS RZ merged with the Kottakarai water distribution system adding aprox. 15 communities and 300 users bringing te totals up to aprox. 1200 users.
Preventing water loss
In the past seven years from 2000 to 2017, AWS has built a good long term water infrastructure within the township. AWS has been marked as the centralized system dedicated to supplying domestic water. AWS had 30% water loss in 2000, but now it has reduced to almost 0% water loss.
