A Deputy General Manager (DGM) heads the Eastern RSC with the support of an Assistant General Manager (AGM). Operations and Maintenance (O&M) activities are divided into four regions namely Trincomalee, Ampara, Batticaloa and Akkaraipattu Region and are managed by four different regional managers. Mainly the RSC functions are to provide necessary support to the four regional offices in the day to day O&M activities and to provide help and guidance in the existing scheme rehabilitation and augmentation work.

Trincomalee O&M Manager directly report to DGM and all other O&M Managers report to the DGM through the AGM and all RSC functions are monitored by the Additional General Manager. The RSC provides services to all regional offices within their capacity, any additional help is obtained from the head office (HO) through the Additional General Manager.

Inspite of having functioned for a long time, the RSC still lacks capacity specially in some technical services, such as planning and design activities, electromechanical works etc. This is primarily due to lack of technical staff and other resources. The main reasons for the shortage of staff are the geographical location and the lack of quarters facilities which has made it very difficult for the RSC to appoint the required skilled personnel as only a few are willing to come and work in the area.

Regional Support Centre (Northern) for more Click here.....

In August 2009 the North RSC functions were completely separated from the other RSCs and a DGM was appointed. An AGM was also put in place to provide support in running the RSC.  O&M activities come under Jaffna Region and are managed by a Regional Manager.  The main RSC functions are to provide necessary support to the Regional Office in the day to day O&M activities and to provide help and guidance in the existing scheme rehabilitation and augmentation work.

The O&M manager reports to the AGM. All RSC functions are monitored by the Additional General Manager for North & Central. The RSC is providing services to the Regional Offices within their capacity.  Any additional help, if necessary, is obtained from H/O through the respective Additional General Manager.

As this is a newly setup unit and due to the extraordinary situation that has prevailed for nearly three decades, the coverage of NWSDB in the North is limited. There are some medium scale schemes operational in Vavuniya and Mannar district. All other schemes in North RSC are very small scale water schemes.

The NWSDB is now taking steps to establish the North RSC as an independent unit, providing it with support in order to be able to widen and improve the services to the consumers in the North.

Under the present administrative setup of Southern RSC, both the Deputy General Manager (DGM) and the Assistant General Manager (AGM) are looking after the operations and maintenance (O&M) in addition to the development functions. The Manager (O&M) often coordinates with the AGM for her day to day O&M functions. In the case of development functions however like rehabilitation, the involvement of the DGM is quite significant. Budgetary controls are also being done through the DGM’s office.

At present, the number of water supply systems within the respective regions are as follows:

  • Galle Region - 16 WS Schemes, about 106,303 service connections
  • Matara Region - 19 WS Schemes, about 94,582 service connections
  • Hambantota Region - 20 WS Schemes, about 101,961 service connections

Depending upon the magnitude of service connections, an officer in-charge is being appointed to manage the water systems. In general if there are over 5000 service connections within a water system, then one senior Engineering assistant is appointed as officer in-charge. Otherwise one officer manages several schemes, the number of which depends upon the complexity of the schemes and the geography. The District/ Area Engineer setup is prevailing to facilitate the technical and administrative support to the OICs for their O&M functions. The development that has taken place in Hambantota district in the recent past towards expansion of water supply coverage has been considerably higher than that of the other two districts.

There are two sewerage schemes in operation, one in Galle district and the other in Hambantota district. These are serving specific industrial or commercial purposes and should not be considered as a municipal sewer system in a city.

 The Sabaragamuwa Province is located on the South-Central region of the island and it is made up of the two administrative districts namely, Rathnapura and Kegalle. This province is made up of mountain ranges valleys, streams and rivers. Both these Districts are strictly agricultural with tea, rubber, paddy and coconut plantations making up their major income generating enterprises. However much agrarian oriented these Districts are, the District of Rathnapura has maintained a reputation from historical times, the world over, for the wealth of gems. The Sabaragamuwa Province is the eighth largest province of Sri Lanka boasting a population of 1,919,487 spread out over a land mass 4900 sq km in extent. Area wise Kegalle District covers 1,663 sq km while Rathnapura District is 3,237 sq km. Rathnapura District located at an elevation of 500ft above sea level, and is the administrative capital of the Sabaragamuwa Province about 100km from Colombo. Kegalle District might even be considered the gateway to the central hills of Sri Lanka and the western region of the Kegalle district is less than 500 ft from the sea level with the eastern region lying 1000ft above the sea level. The Sabaragamuwa Regional Service Support Center (RSC) of NWSDB was established in 2008. After reorganizing the RSC in line with provincial boundaries, it was decided to have a separate RSC for Sabaragamuwa. As is the requirement a Deputy General Manager (DGM) heads the RSC. He is supported by an Assistant General Manager (AGM) and other managers in carrying out the administrative and operational functions. The most important of the RSC functions is the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of water supply schemes. Other key functions of RSC are: Planning and Design work related to Local Projects; Planning work related to Large Scale Projects; Implementation of Rehabilitation and Augmentation work of the existing schemes; Water Resources Management at the regional or local level; as well as Billing and Revenue collection. Its major task is to provide safe drinking water using new technology and a growing water distribution network. Naturally, Sabaragamuwa province is made up of mountain ranges and therefore providing pipe borne drinking water facilities to hilly areas is a huge task. However, as of the development of RSC Sabaragamuwa, more than 100,000 families are now provided with safe drinking pipe borne water with covering most of the major cities with higher population density. The RSC Sabaragamuwa is providing safe drinking water to the community with 12 major water supply schemes in Ratnapura district and 11 major water supply schemes in Kegalle district. Among these water supply schemes, some water treatment plants are newly built automated plants with latest technologies and operations are done with SCADA systems. However, most of the water treatment plants are manually operated full treatment plants and also there are some partial treated water supply schemes within the region. The National water supply and drainage board is investing Millions of money to building new water treatment plants with better systems. These all investments are being doing to provide a better service with good quality water with adequate quantity to the each citizen within the country. The target of RSC Sabaragamuwa is also to have full treatment plants all over the province and to achieve a higher coverage by providing treated good quality drinking water to the doorsteps of the people living the Sabaragamuwa province.   Balangoda Water Treatment Plant Balangoda Intake -Walawe Ganga    Balangoda Water Treatment Plant        Kahawatta Water Treatment Plant Sedimentation Tank & Rapid Sand Filters     Kahawatta OIC office

Accordingly, capacity of the existing treatment facilities has been increased by additional 13,000m3/day. However, the distribution system was not included to the project due limitation of funds. Hence, laying of the distribution system of Greater Ratnapura water supply project has been planned using the Local bank funds. Approximately 200km of pipes will be laid by the project and the estimated total cost is Rs. 2,777 Million.  Pipe lines will be laid up to Meneripitiya along the Ratnapura-Colombo road and upto Millakade along Ratnapura-Panadura road. In addition pipes will be laid along all the by roads in the area. Total number of beneficiaries from the project is 80,000 and it will cover 25 GNDs.   Water Supply & Sanitation Improvement Project (WaSSIP) The construction works under Water Supply & Sanitation Improvement Project (WaSSIP) were started to provide safe drinking water to the rural community under World Bank funds. Under the Rural Water Supply component of the project Epalapitiya, Ganepalla and Garagoda Water supply schemes were completed serving 236, 563 and 36 households respectively and the cost is around Rs. Million 92.5. And also 41% of the overall physical progress has been achieved in the Urban Water supply component of the WaSSIP Project, Greater Galigamuwa WSS. The project consists of construction of 9000 m3/day capacity water treatment plant, transmission and distribution system with service reservoirs covering 29 Grama Niladhari Divisions serving 45,012 people. The total cost of the project is Rs. Million 2,300.

The Services rendered by North Western RSC of N.W.S.& D.B. for patients suffering from kidney disease in Kurunegala district

The data bank of the Department of Health reveals that the no. of CKDu patients in 11 no. of MOH divisions in the Kurunegala district is increasing rapidly. The quality of drinking water could be a major component for the increase of CKDu patients. Hence the N.W.S.& D.B. has initiated no. of projects in these areas.
• In the Polpithigama and Maho MOH divisions, 252 kidney patients have been provided with 250 no.s of Rain water collecting tanks with capacity of 2000 L.
• 25 no.s selected schools in the above areas have been provided with 41 Rain water collecting tanks with capacity of 5000 L.
• Work has commenced for restoring hand pumps and extending the distribution line to supply water from the Maho WSS to these affected areas.
• In addition to this we have lounged a joint programme along with the DHS office in Kurunegala to monitor the quality of drinking water sources (Dug wells) of these affected areas namely Polpithigama, Giribawa and Galgamuwa.

 

The major task of the Sector Planning section is preparation of proposals for new projects to improve the water supply coverage in the North Western Province. Apart from that, the section has planned and achieved following goals.

*Preparation of water supply coverage maps of existing as well as proposed schemes

*Preparation of a database of water supply coverage details about GN Divisions in North Western province

There are major schemes to prepare pre-feasibility reports by the sector planning section of North Western since the availability of water is limited. They can be classified as foreign funded & local funded projects. Except these two categories, still there are few schemes for which no any fund identified yet.

PAC approved projects are Galageda –Mawathagama, Alawwa-Polgahawela, Melsiripura, Galagamuwa, Pannala-Makandura –Kuliyapitiya, Deduruoya, Hiripitiya-Ganewatta in Kurunegala District & Anamaduwa, Dankotuwa, Kalpitiya & Towns South of  Puttlam in Puttlam District.

A Deputy General Manager (DGM) heads the Western North RSC with an Assistant General Manager (AGM) providing support in running the RSC unit. The O&M activities are divided by regions namely the Gampaha Region and the Towns North of Colombo (TNC) region and are managed by two different regional managers. The principal RSC functions are to provide necessary support to the two regional offices in the day to day O&M activities and to provide help and guidance in the ongoing scheme rehabilitation, and augmentation work.

The O&M managers report to the DGM through the AGM and all RSC functions are monitored by the Additional General Manager for Western Zone. The RSC provides services to the regional offices only within their capacity; any additional help as necessary is obtained from the head office (HO) through the respective Additional General Manager.
