The problem, broken down
- Who it hurts
- Families in Puducherry's villages who get drinking water through household taps fed by local bore wells and overhead tanks.
- The moment
- Their tap runs dry or the water looks contaminated, and they report it without knowing who is responsible or how long it should take.
- What people do today
- Complaints go to local bodies and village committees, with no public record of when a complaint was made or resolved.
- Why it's unsolved
- The deadlines are new, the dashboards are only proposed, and village water committees are being asked to handle grievances without a shared tool to log and track them.
- What solved looks like
- A simple complaint line by phone or WhatsApp for each village water scheme that records the time of every complaint, shows the deadline that applies, and publishes how many were fixed on time, village by village.

- 3Leaks in distribution pipelines or household connections must be attended to within 24 hours, and damage to pumping mains, transmission lines or storage structures rectified within 48 hours.
- 4About 32% of the Union Territory's population lives in rural areas, where groundwater remains the main source of water supply schemes.
- 5A State-level Command and Control Centre and district monitoring dashboards are proposed to track supply, flow, water levels, energy consumption and service indicators.
