5. Institutional Mechanism A three-tier institutional mechanism has been devised for effective implementation of Mission as under:

6. Mission Implementation Ground Works MoU CWBP CWAP SWAP DPR Submission of CWBPs by ULBs Submission of Aquifer Management plan by AMRUT Cities before October 2023 SWAPs - First tranche to be submitted within 5 to 9 Months, Second tranche 12 to 16 Months & Third Tranche 24 Months

7. Priority Projects Households of informal settlements and low-income groups to be duly considered Providing universal piped water supply with household water tap connection Providing universal coverage of sewerage / septage management in 500 AMRUT Cites and promoting circular economy of water Rejuvenation of water bodies to augment water and enhance amenity value and development of green spaces

8. Funding for projects ULB Class Central Share For cities with less than one lakh population For cities with population one lakh to ten lakh (both included) 50% of the project funds by Centre ~33% of the project funds by Centre 25% of the project funds by Centre (excl.
