Functional overview for stakeholders
The Water and Sewerage (W&S) module provides a digital interface to apply for water and sewerage connections and, pay the water and sewerage charges for connection/s. It can be used by the citizens, Urban Local Body (ULB) counter employees and field employees, and ULB Administrators to accomplish their specific tasks. It is available as a mobile and web-based application.
The Water and Sewerage product features can be broadly classified as the following modules:
Registration, Login and Creation of User Profile
Applying for a new Water/Sewerage connection
Searching for a Connection
Modifications to a Connection
Entering meter reading of metered connections
Generate Demand
Payment collection and Receipts
Closure of water connection
Dashboards and Reports
This module provides enables the following capabilities
OTP Based Login for Citizen via Web/Mobile App
OTP Based Login for Employee via Web/Mobile App
Provision for language selection during first time registration for both Employee and citizens
Provision of creating a personalized Profile for Citizens and employees on Web App
Login Credentials for the various hierarchy of employees
Role-based access for performing different actions relating to the W&S module
The system allows the Citizen / ULB user (with an appropriate role in the system) to apply for a New Water/Sewerage connection. The application goes through an approval workflow before it is available for various transactions in the system. The workflow to be followed for a new water/sewerage connection is configurable. In the workflow, the ULB official will generate the estimation notice. Once the payment is made, a work order will be generated.
Every time there is a change in the status of an application, the citizen will be intimated through in-app notifications, SMS and email. The citizen and employee can view the history of the various states that an application has been in and the comments added by the employee in each state of the application.
The employee from the W&S department will be able to access the feature, to search for water and sewerage connections. They can search for any connection based on parameters such as:
Consumer number
Application number
Owner mobile number
Application status
From date
To date
The search result contains, Application number, Consumer number, Owner name, Status, Due amount and Pay now option. The Employee can make payment for a connection on the citizen’s behalf using the ‘Pay Now’ option.
Citizens can also search for their connection in the portal. They can search using the Owners mobile number, Property ID, Consumer number etc. The search result yields, Owner’s Name, Address, Due amount and Pay option.
The system facilitates the title transfer of water tap connection from one person to the other person. Title transfer of water tap connection directly depends upon Property tax. If title transfer is done in the property tax module then at the time of final approval, the changes will reflect in the W&S module automatically. After the title transfer has been completed successfully, subsequent bills will be generated with the details of the new owner/s.
Water tap change in usage happens when property type is changed from residential to Non-residential or from Non-residential to residential. Change in usage directly depends on the property tax module. If the property type is changed in the Property tax system then it will automatically reflect in the W&S system. When there is a change in the usage type, the subsequent bills will reflect the rates as per the updated usage category. When there is a change in the usage category in the middle of the billing cycle, pro-rata charges will be applied in the next billing period.
The change in connection category from non-metered to metered and vice-versa is also possible in the W&S system with the appropriate workflow configured to intimate all stakeholders of the change and collect any charges (if applicable) from the citizen.
On the W&S billing screen, there is a card called ‘Meter reading’. An employee can click on ‘Meter reading’ which redirects the employee to the meter reading landing screen. The employee can search based on the following criteria:
ULB
Boundary Type
Boundary Value
Billing Year
Billing Period
Billing Period Value
Consumer No.
This feature facilitates the employee to search for all results based on desired criteria. The search result yields the following values: consumer number, owner name, meter status, last reading, current reading, date and consumption.
The employee can edit meter status, current reading, date and consumption under certain conditions. Based on this information the employee can generate the bills for connections.
In the system, there is a feature to generate demand under the billing section. Generate demand has a search feature in which, the connections can be searched for which demand has been already generated. An employee can view, also edit those demands based on certain conditions.
The system has the capability to configure the demand generation as an automatic or a manual process. In the automatic process, the demand generation for non-metered connections is automatically done periodically. For metered connection as soon as the employee enters the meter reading and clicks on ‘SAVE’, the demand is generated.
Any success/ failure to generate demand triggers an automatic notification to the concerned ULB officials via email. Also, the demand generation cycle, demand generation date and officials who should receive the notifications can be configured.
The citizen can pay for dues by searching his/her connection. In search results, the citizen can click on pay, which redirects to the summary page of the dues. After this, the citizen can pay for dues online. An employee can also collect the payment on the citizen’s behalf. After searching for the desired connection, clicking on pay will redirect the employee to the common payment page. The employee can print the receipt after the payment is successfully collected. The citizen is also notified and gets a download receipt link in the notification.
If the Water tap owner has got his own water source then the water tap owner can initiate for Water tap connection closure permanently. So, that tap will be closed permanently and demand would not be generated for the connection. Application for the closing of water tap connection is accepted only with the latest water charges receipt and clearing of old dues.
The state-level administrator can keep track of relevant metrics by using dashboards. Dashboards for W&S can be accessed by a state-level user under login. The dashboard has these components:
Financial Indicators
W&S Total collections YTD

We are using re-indexing to get all the data to the respective indexer. We have 2 steps for this. The first is to run the connector from the playground. This is followed by a legacy indexer service call from the indexer service, which internally calls the respective plain search service to get the data and send it to the respective indexer.
Access to kubectl of the environment targetted
Postman scripts
Plain search APIs in the respective services
We have two services for water and sewerage

Water Calculator Service is used for creating meter reading, searching meter reading, updating existing meter reading, calculation of water charge, demand generation, SMS & email notification to ULB officials on-demand generation and estimation of water charge(one-time cost) which involves cost like road-cutting charge, form fee, scrutiny fee, etc.
Before you proceed with the documentation, make sure the following pre-requisites are met -
Java 8
Kafka server is up and running
egov-persister service is running and has water service persister configs path added in it
PSQL server is running and a database is created to store water connection / application data
Following services should be up and running:
egov-perister
egov-mdms
ws-services
billing-service
Calculate water charge and taxes based on billing slab.
Calculate meter reading charge for water connection
Generate demand
Scheduler for generating the demand(for non metered connection)
Deploy the latest version of ws-service and ws-calculator
Add water-persist.yml & water-meter.yml file in config folder in git and add that path in persister . (The file path is to be added in environment yaml file in param called persist-yml-path )
Criteria :
connection type
building type
calculation attribute
property usage type
The combination of the above can be used to define the billing slab. Billing Slab is defined in MDMS under ws-services-calculation folder with the WCBillingSlab. The following is the sample slab.
If all criteria will match for that water connection this slab will use for calculation.
For application one-time fee, the estimation will return all the related tax head based on criteria. For estimation, all configuration is present in ws-services-calculation.
All the above master configuration is used for estimation.
Following are the exemptions and taxes that are calculated:
Form fee
Scrutiny fee
Meter charge (For metered connection)
Other charges
Road cutting charges
One time fee
Security charges
Tax and cess
Water charge is based on billing slab, for water application charge will be based on slab and tax based on master configuration.
Interest
Below is a sample of master data JSON for interest :
Penalty
Below is a sample of master data JSON for penalty :
Round Off
If the fraction is greater than equal to 0.5 the number is round up else it’s round down. eg: 100.4 will be rounded to 100 while 100.6 will be rounded to 101.
Actions
Role Action Mapping
Once water is sent to the calculator, its tax estimates are calculated. Using these tax head estimates demand details are created. For every tax head, the estimated demand generates function will create a corresponding demand detail.
Whenever _calculate API is called demand is first searched based on the connection no or application no and the demand from and to period. If demand already exists the same demand is updated else new demand is generated with consumer code as connection no or application no and demand from and to a period equal to financial year start and end period.
In the case of an update, if the tax head estimates change, the difference in amount for that tax head is added as new demand detail. For example, if the initial demand has one demand detail with WATER_CHARGE equal to 120
After updating if the WATER_CHARGE increases to 150 we add one more demand detail to account for the increased amount. The demand detail will be updated to:
RoundOff is bill based i.e every time bill is generated round off is adjusted so that the payable amount is the whole number. Individual WS_ROUNDOFF in demand detail can be greater than 0.5 but the sum of all WS_ROUNDOFF will always be less than 0.5.
Description :
For generating the demand for non metered connection we have a feature for generating the demand in batch. The scheduler is responsible for generating the demand based on the tenant.
The scheduler can be hit by scheduler API or we can schedule cron job or we can put config to kubectl which will hit scheduler based on config.
After the scheduler been hit we will search the list of the tenant (city) present in the database.
After getting the tenants we will pick up tenant one by one and generate the demand for that tenant.
We will load the consumer codes for the tenant and push the calculation criteria to Kafka. Calculation criteria contain minimal information (We are not pushing large data to Kafka), calculation criteria contain consumer code and one boolean variable.
After pushing the data into Kafka we are consuming the records based on the batch configuration. Ex:-> if the batch configuration is 50 so we will consume the 50 calculation criteria at a time.
After consuming the record(Calculation criteria) we will process the batch for generating the demand. If the batch is successful so will log the consumer codes which have been processed.
If some records failed in batch so we will push the batch into dead letter batch topic. From the dead letter batch topic, we will process the batch one by one.
If the record is successful we will log the consumer code, If the record is failed so we will push the data into a dead letter single topic.
Dead letter single topic contains information about failure records in Kafka.
Use cases:
If the same job trigger multiple time what will happen?
If the same job triggers multiple times we will process again as mentioned above but at the demand level we will check the demand based on consumer code and billing period, If demand already exists then we will update the demand otherwise we will create the demand.
Are we maintaining success or failure status anywhere?
Currently, we are maintaining the status of failed records in Kafka.
Configuration :
We need to configure the batch size for Kafka consumer. This configuration is for how much data will be processed at a time.1ws.demand.based.batch.size=10
ws-calculator will be integrated with ws-service. ws-services internally invoke the ws-calculator service to calculate and generate demand for the charges.
WS calculator application is used to calculate the water application one time Fees and meter reading charges based on the different billing slabs that's why the calculation and demand generation logic will be separated out from the WS service. So in future, if calculation logic needs to modify then changes can be carried out for each implementation without modifying the WS service.
Once the water connection is activated for metered-connection, employee can add meter reading details using this API - /ws-calculator/meterConnection/_createwhich in-turn will generate the demand. For the Non-Metered connections, the scheduler APIs need to be called periodically to generate the demand.
For the Metered Connection service, to get the previous meter reading /meterConnection/_search API is used.
To Activate the Water Service application, the user needs to pay the ONE_TIME_FEE for the connection. To calculate the ONE_TIME_FEE /waterCalculator/_estimate API is used.
To generate the demand for metered or non-metered water connection /waterCalculator/_calculate API is used.
User can pay partial / full / advance amount for the Metered or Non-Metered connection bill. In these cases, Billing service would call back /waterCalculator/_updateDemandAPI to update the details of the demand generated.
/waterCalculator/_jobscheduler API is use to generate demand for Non-metered connections. This API can be called periodically.
/waterCalculator/_applyAdhocTax API is used to add Rebate or Penalty on any bill and based on that the bill amount will be adjusted.
(Note: All the API’s are in the same postman collection therefore same link is added in each row)

Sewerage Charges are recurring charges levied for a pre-defined billing period. The billing period is configurable as per the state or ULB requirement. The rate for calculation of sewerage charges can vary widely and is dependent upon various parameters. For instance, they can be dependent either upon plot size slab combined with property usage type or solely dependent upon property usage type. In some cases, sewerage charges can also be levied as a percentage of water charges.

DSS has two sides to it. One is the process in which the data is pooled into ElasticSearch and the other is the way it is fetched, aggregated, computed, transformed and sent across.
As this revolves around a variety of data sets, there is a need for making this configurable. So that, tomorrow, given a new scenario is introduced, then it is just a configuration away from getting the newly introduced scenario involved in this process flow.
This document explains the steps on how to define the configurations for the analytics side of DSS for W&S.
What is analytics?
Analytics: Micro Service which is responsible for building, fetching, aggregating and computing the data on ElasticSearch to a consumable data response. This is later used for visualizations and graphical representations.
Analytics Configurations: Analytics contains multiple configurations. We need to add the changes related to Water & Sewerage(W&S) in this dashboard analytics. Here is the location: Below is a list of configurations that need to be changed to run W&S successfully.
Chart API Configuration
Master Dashboard Configuration
Role Dashboard Mappings Configuration
Each visualization has its own properties. Each visualization comes from different data sources (Sometimes it is a combination of different data sources). In order to configure each visualization and its properties, we have a chart API configuration document.
In this, visualization code, which happens to be the key, will be having its properties configured as a part of the configuration and are easily changeable.
Here is the sample ChartApiConfiguration.json data for the W&S.
Master dashboard configuration is the main configuration which defines the dashboards to be painted on the screen.
It includes all the visualizations, their groups, the charts which come within them and even their dimensions as what should be their height and width.
Master Dashboard Configuration which was explained earlier contains the list of dashboards which are available. Given the instance where Role Action Mapping is not maintained in the Application Service, this configuration will act as Role - Dashboard Mapping Configuration.
In this, each role is mapped against the Dashboard which they are authorised to see. This was used earlier when the Role Action Mapping of eGov was not integrated.
Later, when the Role Action Mapping started controlling the dashboards to be seen on the client side, this configuration was just used to enable the dashboards for viewing.
common-masters/uiCommonConstants.json
roleaction.json
Action test.json
W&S-DSS consists of multiple graphs which represent the data of W&S. Each graph has its own configuration which will describe the chart and its type.

On click of any district name will enter into drill-down charts, which will represent that specific District data.
On click of the ULB will navigate to wards under that specific ULB and each ward shows the specific data regarding that ward.
isRoundOff: This property is introduced to round off the decimal values. Ex: if the value is 25.43 by using isRoundOff property in the configuration we will get it as 25. if the value is 22.56 round of value will be 23. This can be used for insights configuration as well for overview graphs.
Key(eg: fsmTotalrequest): This is the Visualization Code. This key will be referred to in further visualization configurations.
This is the key which will be used by the client application to indicate which visualization is needed for display.
chartName: The name of the Chart which has to be used as a label on the Dashboard. The name of the Chart will be a detailed name.
In this configuration, the Name of the Chart will be the code of Localization which will be used by the Client Side.
queries: Some visualizations are derived from a specific data source. While some others are derived from different data sources and are combined together to get a meaningful representation.
The queries of aggregation which are to be used to fetch the right data in the right aggregated format are configured here.
queries.module: The module/domain level, on which the query should be applied on. Water and sewerage are W&S.
queries.indexName: The name of the index upon which the query has to be executed is configured here.
queries.aggrQuery : The aggregation query in itself is added here. Based on the Module and the Index name specified, this query is attached to the filter part of the complete search request and then executed against that index
queries.requestQueryMap: Client Request would carry certain fields which are to be filtered. The parameters specified in the Client Request are different from the parameters in each of these indexed documents.
In order to map the parameters of the request to the parameters of the ElasticSearch Document, this mapping is maintained.
queries.dateRefField: Each of these modules have separate indexes. And all of them have their own date fields.
When there is a date filter applied against these visualizations, each of them has to apply it against their own date reference fields.
In order to maintain what is the date field in which index, we have this configured in this configuration parameter.
chartType: As there are different types of visualizations, this field defines what is the type of chart/visualization that this data should be used to represent.
Chart types available are:
metric - this represents the aggregated amount/value for records filtered by the aggregate es query
pie - this represents the aggregated data on grouping. This is can be used to represent any line graph, bar graph, pie chart or donut
line - this graph/chart is data representation on date histograms or date groupings
perform - this chart represents groping data as performance-wise.
table - represents a form of plots and values with headers as grouped on and a list of its key, values pairs.
xtable - represents an advanced feature of the table, it has additional capabilities for dynamic adding header values.
valueType: In any case of data, the values which are sent to the plot, might be a percentage, sometimes an amount and sometimes it is just a count.
In order to represent them and differentiate the numbers from the amount from the percentage, this field is used to indicate the type of value that this Visualization will be sending.
action: Some of the visualizations are not just aggregations of data sources. There might be some cases where we have to do a post-aggregation computation.
For Example, in the case of the top 3 Performing ULBs, the Target and Total Collection are obtained and then the percentage is calculated. In these kinds of cases, the action that has to be performed on the data obtained is defined in this parameter.
documentType: The type of document upon which the query has to be executed is defined here.
drillChart: If there is a drill down on the visualization, then the code of the Drill Down Visualization is added here. This will be used by Client Service to manage drill-downs.
aggregationPaths: All the queries will be having Aggregation names in them. In order to fetch the value out of each Aggregation Response, the name of the aggregation in the query will be an easy bet. These aggregation paths will have the names of Aggregation in it.
insights: It is to show the data with the comparison of last year with arrow symbols, it will show the data in how much % is increased or decreased.
_comment: In order to display information on the “i” symbol of each visualization, Visualization Information is maintained in this field.

Water Service Document
Water service is the eGov application, which helps and gives flexibility to municipalities and citizens to handle the water service like applying for the water connection and searching for water connections. The application goes through different stages that the states identify for given roles. If that role takes the action then the application goes to the next state. Based on the state, a citizen gets a notification (SMS and in-app ). Citizens also can pay for application fees or employees can collect the fee for the application.
Before you proceed with the documentation, make sure the following pre-requisites are met -

Workflow for property creation through Water and Sewerage module
The indexer provides the facility for indexing the data to elastic search. https://github.com/egovernments/configs/blob/DEV/egov-indexer/water-service.ymlhttps://github.com/egovernments/configs/blob/DEV/egov-indexer/water-services-meter.yml
Setup
Write the configuration for the water service. https://github.com/egovernments/configs/blob/DEV/egov-indexer/water-service.ymlhttps://github.com/egovernments/configs/blob/DEV/egov-indexer/water-services-meter.yml
Provide the absolute path of the checked-in file to DevOps, to add it to the file-read path of egov-indexer. The file will be added to the egov-indexer's environment manifest file for it to be read at the start-up of the application.
Run the egov-indexer app, Since it is a consumer, it starts listening to the configured topics and indexes the data.
Modify connection
After connection activation or legacy connection, we can edit the connection. This process is based on a defined workflow. Any action is based on defined roles on the action level. For the edit connection, we need to upload some supporting documents and mandatory info.
Workflow config for edit connection
Create businessService (workflow configuration) using the __/businessservice/_create. Following is the product configuration for editing the water connection.
Notification
Notification will be sent to the property owners and connection holders based on different application states.
Capturing connection holders
We can add connection holders to the water connection who will be the owner of the connection. We can fill in the connection holders' details or we can just make the property owner to the connector holder.
The connection holder will get a notification based on a different state of the application. We are pushing the data of the connection holders in the user service too.
Multiple Road Type Support We can add road-cutting details of multiple roads to the water connection. For each road that goes undercutting process, we have to fill in their road type details and road cutting area. Based on this information, the application one-time fee estimate is calculated.
Add MDMS configs required for water connection registration and restart MDMS service.
Deploy the latest version of ws-services service.
Add water-service and water-services-meter persister yaml path in persister configuration and restart persister service.
Add role-action mapping for APIs.
Create businessService (workflow configuration) accordingly for trade water connection, modify water connection
Add ws-service indexer yaml path in indexer service configuration and restart indexer service.
This ws-service module is used to manage water service connections against a property in the system.
Provide backend support for the different water connection registration processes.
Mseva and SMS notifications on application status changes.
Elastic search index for creating visualizations and Dashboards.
Supports workflow which is configurable
To integrate, a host of ws-service modules should be overwritten in the helm chart.
/ws-services/wc/_create should be added as the create endpoint for creating water application/connection in the system
/ws-services/wc/_search should be added as the search endpoint. This method handles all requests to search existing records depending on different search criteria
/ws-services/wc/_update should be added as the update endpoint. This method is used to update fields in existing records or to update the status of the application based on workflow.
(Note: All the APIs are in the same postman collection therefore the same link is added in each row)
Sewerage Calculator Service is one of the major business logic services which is used for calculation of sewerage charge, generating demand, update existing demand, SMS & email notification to the ULB officials on-demand generation and also triggering demands(job scheduler) at some intervals and estimation of sewerage charge(one-time cost) which involves cost like road-cutting charge, form fee, scrutiny fee etc.
Before you proceed with the documentation, make sure the following pre-requisites are met -
Java 8
Kafka server is up and running
egov-persister service is running and has sewerage service persister configs path added in it
PSQL server is running and a database is created to store sewerage connection / application data
Following services should be up and running:
egov-perister
egov-mdms
sw-services
billing-service
Sewerage calculator services present in municipal services provide multiple functionalities like calculating sewerage charges, generating demands for a particular sewerage connection, updating demands, SMS & email notification to the ULB officials on-demand generation and also triggering demands(job scheduler) at some intervals and estimation of sewerage charge(one-time cost) which involves cost like road-cutting charge, form fee, scrutiny fee etc. The different functionalities provided by sewerage calculator services are:
Sewerage charge calculation
Demand generation(here as its always non-metered demand will be generated based on time period)
Sewerage charge estimation (one-time cost which involves cost like road-cutting charge, form fee, scrutiny fee etc.)
Deploy the latest version of sw-service and sw-calculator
Add sewerage-persist.yml file in config folder in git and add that path in persister . (The file path is to be added in environment yaml file in param called persist-yml-path )
Criteria :
connection type
building type
calculation attribute
property usage type
If all criteria will match for that sewerage connection this slab will use for calculation.
For application one-time fee, the estimation will return all the related tax head based on criteria. For estimation, all configuration is present in sw-services-calculation.
All the above master configuration is used for estimation.
Following are the exemptions and taxes that are calculated:
Form fee
Scrutiny fee
Other charges
Road cutting charges
One time fee
Security charges
Tax and cess
Sewerage charge is based on billing slab, for sewerage application charge will be based on slab and tax based on master configuration.
Interest
Below is a sample of master data JSON for interest :
Penalty
Below is a sample of master data JSON for penalty**:**
Round Off
If the fraction is greater than equal to 0.5 the number is round up else it’s round down. eg: 100.4 will be rounded to 100 while 100.6 will be rounded to 101.
Role Action Mapping
Once sewerage is sent to the calculator, its tax estimates are calculated. Using the tax head estimates demand details are created. For every tax head, the estimated demand generates function will create a corresponding demand detail.
Whenever _calculate API is called demand is first searched based on the connection no or application no and the demand from and to period. If demand already exists the same demand is updated else new demand is generated with consumer code as connection no or application no and demand from and to a period equal to financial year start and end period.
In the case of an update, if the tax head estimates change, the difference in amount for that tax head is added as new demand detail. For example, if the initial demand has one demand detail with SEWERAGE_CHARGE equal to 120
After updating if the SEWERAGE_CHARGE increases to 150 we add one more demand detail to account for the increased amount. The demand detail will be updated to:
RoundOff is bill based i.e every time bill is generated round off is adjusted so that the payable amount is the whole number. Individual SW_ROUNDOFF in demand detail can be greater than 0.5 but the sum of all SW_ROUNDOFF will always be less than 0.5.
For generating the demand for non metered connection we have a feature for generating the demand in batch. The scheduler is responsible for generating the demand based on the tenant.
The scheduler can be hit by scheduler API or we can schedule cron job or we can put config to kubectl which will hit scheduler based on config.
After the scheduler been hit we will search the list of the tenant (city) present in the database.
After getting the tenants we will pick up tenant one by one and generate the demand for that tenant.
We will load the consumer codes for the tenant and push the calculation criteria to Kafka. Calculation criteria contain minimal information (We are not pushing large data to Kafka), calculation criteria contain consumer code and one boolean variable.
After pushing the data into Kafka we are consuming the records based on the batch configuration. Ex:-> if the batch configuration is 50 so we will consume the 50 calculation criteria at a time.
After consuming the record(Calculation criteria) we will process the batch for generating the demand. If the batch is successful so will log the consumer codes which have been processed.
If some records failed in batch so we will push the batch into dead letter batch topic. From the dead letter batch topic, we will process the batch one by one.
If the record is successful we will log the consumer code, If the record is failed so we will push the data into a dead letter single topic.
Dead letter single topic contains information about failure records in Kafka.
Use cases
If the same job trigger multiple time what will happen?
If the same job triggers multiple times we will process again as mentioned above but at the demand level we will check the demand based on consumer code and billing period, If demand already exists then we will update the demand otherwise we will create the demand.
Are we maintaining success or failure status anywhere?
Currently, we are maintaining the status of failed records in Kafka.
Configuration
We need to configure the batch size for Kafka consumer. This configuration is for how much data will be processed at a time.1sw.demand.based.batch.size=10
sw-calculator will be integrated with sw-service. sw-services internally invoke the sw-calculator service to calculate and generate demand for the charges.
SW calculator application is used to calculate the sewerage application one time Fees and connection charges based on the different billing slabs that's why the calculation and demand generation logic will be separated out from SW service. So in future, if calculation logic needs to modify then changes can be carried out for each implementation without modifying the SW service.
To Activate the Sewerage Service application, the user needs to pay the ONE_TIME_FEE for the connection. To calculate the ONE_TIME_FEE sw-calculator/sewerageCalculator/_estimate API is use.
To generate the demand for non-metered sewerage connection /sw-calculator/sewerageCalculator/_calculate API is use.
User can pay partial / full / advance amount for the Non-Metered connection bill. In these cases, Billing service would call back /sw-calculator/sewerageCalculator/_updateDemandAPI to update the details of the demand generated.
/sw-calculator/sewerageCalculator/_jobscheduler API is use to generate demand for Non-metered connections. This API can be called periodically.
/sw-calculator/sewerageCalculator/_applyAdhocTax API is used to add Rebate or Penalty on any bill and based on that the bill amount will be adjusted.
(Note: All the API’s are in the same postman collection therefore same link is added in each row)

Separate Entity Specific Checklist is not required for this module data.
Access to clean and safe water is one of the basic needs of citizens. Each Urban local body has been mandated with catering to the water and sanitation needs of its citizens. The computerized and automatic Water and Sewerage system offered by eGov enables citizens who seek to apply and pay for water and sewerage connections within any Urban Local Body with a transparent, speedy, hassle-free and user-friendly procedure. The ULB officials can now sanction connections, generate bills and collect payments for water and sewerage connections more efficiently. (For details on product features refer to Section 2)
For the offered product, the implementation process can be divided into six major distinctive stages. Each stage has predefined entry and exit criteria, roles & responsibilities to assure objective monitoring and decision-making for the overall success of the engagement. The whole implementation lifecycle is typical of 23-27 weeks for the State/UT keeping in mind the entry, and exit criteria defined at the beginning and end of each stage are met on time recommended.
Stage Zero-program setup and onboarding is a pre-requisite for the initiative to kick off and requires setup of the governance model, implementation team and decision regarding other significant elements of the initiative like funding and procurement process. Stage One of the initiative requires scoping the initiative and deciding on the priorities for implementation by the State/UT Implementation Team. In Stage Two, the W&S team is appointed and its processes are standardized. In Stage Three, the State/UT Team will work on identifying and finding solutions to the significant gaps in the product offered w.r.t. to the need of the State/UT. Configuration and customization of the product is the primary objective of Stage Four. This involves working on various aspects of UT-specific needs and incorporating them into the product suite offered. In Stage Four and Five, post doing UAT and including all the necessary feedback on the product, the roll-out of the product is done at the State/UT level(Go Live) from a couple of ULBs to pan State/UT coverage. In Stage Six of sustenance and ongoing improvement, key activities are adoption and governance tracking with the planning of ongoing sustenance. (For details on the implementation plan refer to Section 3).
Implementation of Water and Sewerage (W&S) requires meticulous planning and close coordination between various stakeholders at the centre and State/UT levels. The success of the initiative is dependent upon many factors like strong Program governance, availability of trained resources, financial planning, targeted implementation Team onboarding, focus on last-mile capacity building and ensuring necessary support to the urban centre. Achievement of all these factors will provide the most effective and efficient roll-out and adoption of the Water and Sewerage Implementation System in the UT.
The Water and Sewerage (W&S) module provides a digital interface to apply for water and sewerage connections and pay the water and sewerage charges for connection/s. The citizens can use it, Urban Local Body (ULB) counter employees and field employees, and ULB Administrators to accomplish their specific tasks. It is available as a mobile and web-based application. The W&S product features can be broadly classified as the following modules:
Registration, Login and Creation of User Profile
Application for new Water/Sewerage connection
Searching for a Connection
Modifications to a Connection
Entering meter readings of metered connections
Generate Demand
Payments collection and Receipts
Dashboards and Reports
This module provides enables the following capabilities:
OTP-based login for citizens via Web/Mobile App
OTP-based login for employees via Web/Mobile App
Provision for language selection during first-time registration for both employees and
citizens
Provision of creating a personalized profile for citizens and employees on the Web App
Login credentials for the various hierarchy of employees
Role-based access for performing different actions relating to the W&S module
The system allows the Citizen / ULB user (with an appropriate role in the system) to apply for a New Water/Sewerage connection. The application goes through an approval workflow before it is available for various transactions in the system. The workflow to be followed for a new water/sewerage connection is configurable. In the workflow, the ULB official will generate the estimation notice. Once the payment is made, a work order will be generated.
Every time there is a change in the status of an application, the citizen will be intimated through in-app notifications, SMS and email. The citizen and employee can view the history of the various states that an application has been in and the comments added by the employee in each state of the application.
Only employees from the W&S department will be able to access the feature, to search for water and sewerage connections. They can search for any connection based on parameters such as:
Consumer number
Application number
Owner mobile number
Application status
From date
To date
The search result contains the Application number, Consumer number, Owner name, Status, Due amount and the Pay now option. The Employee can make payment for a connection on the citizen’s behalf using the ‘Pay Now’ option.
Citizens can also search for their connections in the portal. They can search using the Owners mobile number, Property ID, Consumer number etc. The search result yields, the Owner’s Name, Address, Due amount and Pay options.
The system facilitates the title transfer of the water tap connection from one person to the other person. Title transfer of water tap connection directly depends upon Property tax. If title transfer is done in the property tax module then at the time of final approval, the changes will reflect in the W&S module automatically. After the title transfer has been completed successfully, subsequent bills will be generated with the details of the new owner/s.
Water tap change in usage happens when the property type is changed from residential to Non-residential or from Non-residential to residential. Change in usage directly depends on the property tax module. If the property type is changed in the Property tax system then it will automatically reflect in the W&S system. When there is a change in the usage type, the subsequent bills will reflect the rates as per the updated usage category. When there is a change in the usage category in the middle of the billing cycle, pro-rata charges will be applied in the next billing period.
The change in connection category from non-metered to metered and vice-versa is also possible in the W&S system with the appropriate workflow configured to intimate all stakeholders of the change and collect any charges (if applicable) from the citizen.
On the W&S billing screen, there is a card called ‘Meter reading’. An employee can click on Meter reading which redirects the employee to the meter reading landing screen. The employee can search based on the following criteria:
ULB
Boundary Type
Boundary Value
Billing Year
Billing Period
Billing Period Value
Consumer No.
This feature facilitates the employee to search for all results based on desired criteria. The search result yields the following values: consumer number, owner name, meter status, last reading, current reading, date and consumption.
The employee can edit meter status, current reading, date and consumption under certain conditions. Based on this information the employee can generate the bills for connections.
In the system, there is a feature to generate demand under the billing section. Generate demand has a search feature in which the connections can be searched for which demand has been already generated. An employee can view, also edit those demands based on certain conditions.
The system has the capability to configure the demand generation as an automatic or a manual process. In the automatic process, the demand generation for non-metered connections is automatically done periodically. For metered connection as soon as the employee enters the meter reading and clicks on ‘SAVE’, the demand is generated.
Any success/ failure to generate demand triggers an automatic notification to the concerned ULB officials via email. Also, the demand generation cycle, demand generation date and officials who should receive the notifications can be configured.
The citizen can pay for dues by searching his/her connection. In search results, the citizen can click on pay, which redirects to the summary page of the dues. After this, the citizen can pay for dues online. An employee can also collect the payment on the citizen’s behalf. After searching for the desired connection, clicking on pay will redirect the employee to the common payment page. The employee can print the receipt after the payment is successfully collected. The citizen is also notified and gets a download receipt link in the notification.
If the Water tap owner has got his own water source then the water tap owner can initiate for Water tap connection closure permanently. So, that tap will be closed permanently and demand would not be generated for the connection. Application for the closing of the water tap connection is accepted only with the latest water charges receipt and clearing of old dues.
The state-level administrator can keep track of relevant metrics by using dashboards. Dashboards for W&S can be accessed by a state-level user under login.
The dashboard has these components:
Financial Indicators

This section provides an overview of the methodology for the State-wide implementation of W&S. The Implementation of W&S is distributed across seven distinct stages. Each stage has predefined entry & exit criteria and roles & responsibilities. This is to ensure objective monitoring and decision-making for the overall success of the program. Details of each stage are defined in this section.
Note: This document is specific for States that have more than 30 ULBs.
W&S implementation program is expected to be completed approximately between 38- 42 weeks with the resource deployment by the State and System Integrator (SI) Team (as defined below). However, it is critical that activities and exit criteria set for each stage are achieved to adhere to this timeline.
There is a set of initial critical activities that are undertaken upon receiving a letter of enrollment from the State/Union Territory. Successful completion of these activities assures that the program is started with crucial personnel, System Integrator(SI) teams and funds.
Define the value proposition of the programme for the state
Define the time frame within which the state needs to:
Go live
Scale pan-state
Define Year-on-Year(YoY) Financial Targets
System Integrator(SI) Sign-up:
System Integrator and state will agree on program scope, program timelines, and budgeting & resourcing.
This stage envisages the in-person interaction of crucial State/UT officials and implementation System Integrator(SI) Teams to kick-start the program. This stage may require multiple interactions/meetings with different stakeholders. The principal objective of these interactions is to identify scope, plan strategies for phasing/rollout (in pilot ULBs/Pan State) and create an active collaboration & Governance approach and agree on a high-level timeline for the engagement.
Note
1) State Baseline Data (As per the Module): A Baseline Template is provided to collect certain vital information like no. of transactions, revenue collected in the last FYs, collection mode, budget data, etc. This data is vital for various analyses at the state level. This data must be collected pre-rollout. The baseline data collection templates will be provided to the state/SI Team.
2) ULBs Specific Product Data Configuration: This Master data is required from the Product Perspective to go live. For eg: Connection Legacy Data, Boundary Data, List of Employees, Rates etc. Master Data Template will be provided for the collection of this particular data type.
During the Solution design stage, key State/UT officials and members, who are subject matter experts, are expected to share State/UT acts and policies and help interpret the same for the System Integrator (SI) Team. This stage baselines the State/UT-specific product features in the Product Configuration report.
This stage consists of a series of developments in accordance with the detailed project plan to ensure the smooth functioning of the customised product. Preparation for the testing and data collection of the product UAT is complete. Further monitoring and maintenance strategies are put in place.
During this stage, a demonstration of the product followed by a hand on session is conducted for the ULB officials. Necessary training of ULB officials and resources required for UAT is conducted and identified respectively. The establishment of the State/UT support Team and required processes are initiated in this stage.
On successful Go-Live in the Pilot ULBs, after further configurations to stabilize the product, the solution will be rolled out to the rest of the ULBs in multiple phases. Guidance and support from the State/UT Team will be required to create the rollout plans and assure the necessary infrastructure for training and deployment is available at each ULB.
Note: The rollout phase needs to be detailed out for iterative activities of onboarding ULBs in batches.
Note: Only once all the stages are complete in one batch of the rollout of around 30 ULBs, the next batch begins. There are multiple phases of rollout. The second batch begins after the first batch has successfully fulfilled all the criteria of the Rollout Phase. Typical timelines for closure of rollout in each batch is 5-6 weeks (in a batch of 30 ULBs).
The final stage consists of strategies to ensure the sustenance of the product in the State/UT. Systems are put in place to ensure the continuous tracking of data and provisions are made to improve the product if new data suggest.
This section outlines the activities involved in each stage of the implementation along with the responsibility and accountability of critical stakeholders - UT, NUS Team and System Integrator Team onboard.
W&S Cell: W&S Cell is the government-appointed body chaired by the Principal Secretary/Secretary, Urban Development Department with members from Urban Development Department etc.
Resource requirements for the W&S cell required to be formed by the UT
Note: The designation mentioned above is as per designations known to drive W&S implementation at the State/UT level (explained below). These are the preferred figures in the case of Domain Expert, 2 people are subject to availability.
Project Head: Is the Head of the W&S Cell who will drive the project from the State/UT Side
Domain Expert: A person who is well aware of the on-ground scenario, well versed with the act, GOs passed, Prevalent Business processes, Deviations from the acts, Rates/ slabs applicable
Nodal officer (EO/Commissioner/ Senior Official): the product coordinator to drive the project centrally; monitors usage post Go Live; point of escalation for Implementation Team; seasoned and worked in multiple ULBs on various modules and has a good understanding of W&S; facilitates and tracks data collection post-go-live; monitors and facilitates the adoption of the application; point of contact for eGov, SI and at the HQ level.
MIS Expert: Day-to-day tracking of the program, data entry, reporting and review to senior officials
eGov Team: eGov Team is the technical partner of the project which will provide all necessary support to the State/UT concerning the implementation, Program Designing etc.
System Integrator (SI) Team: SI Team will be responsible for the rollout of the initiative in the UT, providing end-to-end support to the State/UT w.r.t. The implementation of the products in the ULBs.
Guidelines to read the table are mentioned on the next page:
Execute - One who owns the accountability to complete the activity
Consult - One who may initiate, guide and in the process, handhold the execution of the activity
Note: Stage 0 is where the W&S cell and SI team are formed, hence there are only two entities playing a role which are that of eGov and the state leadership. Once the W&S cell and SI team are finalized, their role begins in the following stages.
Vision: Defining the time frame to go live, the time frame to scale it pan state, the value proposition of the programme for the state and year-on-year financial targets and adoption targets
