Gurugram: The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) is preparing a technology-driven plan to modernise the city’s water supply system by setting up its first micro data centre.
Officials said the initiative is aimed at addressing water shortages and irregular distribution across Gurugram through real-time monitoring and digital control.
Inspired by water management models implemented in Israel and Puri in Odisha, the project seeks to make the entire water distribution network sensor-based, fully digital, and centrally monitored. Civic officials said the proposed micro data centre will act as the central control hub for the city’s water supply infrastructure.
Once operational, the facility will maintain a detailed digital database covering every colony, sector, pocket, and lane in Gurugram. The system will map the full distribution network, including pipelines, authorized connections, and water supply volumes. Officials said data will also be recorded on pipeline thickness, the number of connections in each area, and the daily quantity of water supplied.
To strengthen monitoring, MCG has assigned unique identification numbers to all boosting stations and tube wells in the city. Additional Commissioner Ravinder Yadav said that through these IDs and an expanding sensor network, officials will be able to track in real time the number of motors installed at each station along with their capacity. Sensors are being installed on motors to detect faults, disruptions, and performance issues.
Yadav explained that if a motor breaks down or there is a power supply interruption at any station, an alert will be generated instantly at the micro data centre. This will enable officials to respond quickly to technical issues, often before field staff are able to report the problem, leading to faster repairs and improved water supply reliability across the city.
