The Mizoram Government will soon start a 24x7 drinking water supply pilot for around 300 households in Aizawl. The project covers Vaivakawn and Chawnpui areas. Public Health Engineering Minister Lalnilawma announced this on January 22, 2026. The ₹5.24 crore scheme is funded by the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 2. “The Vaivakawn and Chawnpui areas in the western part of the town will have round-the-clock access to drinking water in four to six months when the project is complete,” said Mr. Lalnilawma. He called the project a milestone for Mizoram. The government plans to extend 24x7 water supply to more households later. Smart water metres will be installed free of cost to consumers. New pipelines will be used to serve the areas. To improve water supply in other towns, proposals for Centre funds have been submitted. Some water projects have been delayed due to lack of environmental clearance and land. The government asked people to save water and introduced an Android app ‘Tui leak’ for reporting pipeline leaks. “Internet of Things (IoT) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) will be used in the 24x7 water supply system to enhance operational efficiency, scalability and real-time data monitoring,” officials added. Ultrasonic level indicators, automated valves, and flow metres will keep track of water level, flow, pressure, and ensure fair supply. The pilot hopes to set new standards in water supply in Mizoram.
