Due to continuous growth of population and geographical expansion, most of these towns do not have adequate water supply with respect to norms. The status of availability of water in nutshell is given below

1.
Town with piped water supply
623
2.
Towns having water supply adequate to meet 25% of demand
20
3.
Town having water supply adequate to meet water demand in the range of 25% to 50%
96
4.
Towns having water supply adequate to meet water demand in range of 50% to 75%
153
5.
Towns having water supply adequate to meet water demand above 75%

The above categorization is mainly based upon the need of water source. It is relevant to record that in most of the towns other than those recently covered under Accelerated Urban water Supply Program, storage capacity and distribution system are also inadequate besides source. Rs. 3990 Crores is the estimated requirement of funds for strengthening and reorganization of water supply system in such towns of the State so as to bring them at par with prescribed norms.
WATER SUPPLY FOR TOWNS HAVING POPULATION LESS THAN 20,000- ACCELERATED   URBAN WATER SUPPLY PROGRAM (AUWSP)

The Government of India launched the Accelerated Urban Water Supply Program (AUWSP) in the year 1993-94 to provide drinking water facility in towns with population (1991 Census) less than 20,000. The program is centrally sponsored with financial support of Government of India and the State Government in the ratio of 50: 50

Out of 623 towns of UP, 425 towns have 1991 census population figure less than 20,000. Piped water supply facility in 35 of these towns has been found to be of satisfactory level. Such towns where the level or water supply have not been found satisfactory have been included under this program in NINE Phases as illustrated in the table given below
