One spring box is available in the village usiriputtu, which is steep down to the village. It gets contaminated with agriculture effluents very often. So one and only single source vuta provides low yield and is insufficient. It is not able to cater the needs of the entire village. Killing lot of time of the community. About 6 hours of their time of each family, spending in fetching water only.

As the villagers found the right direction to solve the drinking water problem, shown interest to put their labor contribution, and formed a 9 member Village Development Committee to reach the identified spring source, which is at a distance about 0.9KMs near Neredubanda kond hillock. As the record of the elevation at proposed source shows 794 Mts and 698 Mts shows at village level, it is therefore, the request of the community is genuine and recommended for the Gravity fed supply system to solve the drinking problem of the village for the present and future generations. The community also agreed upon the maintenance part by saving some portion of their earnings as for the repairs of the system.
