MCG to set up centralised micro data centre to monitor water, sewer, and streetlights

MCG chief engineer Vijay Dhaka said the system would ensure uninterrupted water supply and reduce dependence on manual operations. The facility is expected to become operational in the coming months, with residents potentially benefiting within six months.

Officials said sewer and streetlight monitoring systems will be implemented in the second phase of the project.

MCG officials recently visited Odisha to study a similar model implemented across 11 cities where uninterrupted water supply is managed through such systems.

The civic body has begun collecting raw data from the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) and the irrigation department for integration into the micro data centre system.

The Municipal Corporation Gurugram (MCG) plans to establish an advanced micro data centre at its new Manesar office to digitally monitor the city's water supply, sewer network and streetlight systems. The centre will centralise monitoring of Gurugram’s water distribution network, map every colony, sector and pipeline, and maintain real-time records of water flow, pipeline capacity, authorised connections and daily supply levels. It will use flow meters at boosting stations and tubewells linked to a SCADA system for remote monitoring and rapid fault response. No details on project cost, funding, or tendering have been disclosed.
