Water Works Department (GHADC)

​

Overview

A significant milestone in the management of Tura’s water supply occurred when the Phase-I Tura Water Supply system, including its distribution infrastructure, was handed over to the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC). This event marked the beginning of GHADC’s direct involvement in local water distribution through the establishment of the Water Works Department.       

Phase-I Water Supply System

The Phase-I system included several key water tanks:

1. Babupara Water Tank

2. Chandmary (Steel) Tank

3. Fancy Valley Tank

4. D.C. Park (Old) Tank

5. College Tank                                                                                                                                                                    

Current Status

• The water distribution system, now managed by GHADC, serves a total of 4,828 consumers in Tura town.
