The study developed a preliminary assessment of the current domestic water supply in Sonipat, Haryana, a Municipal Corporation (MC) that was deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 and the situation is still not normal. To control and prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, water and hygiene-related practices emerged as a critical component all over the world. The inspiration was to develop an understanding of the water supply status at the domestic level in MC Sonipat to improve the water security with management in future. For this purpose, the study has analysed the secondary information collected from local water utilities with respect to domestic water supply concerning distribution system, supply coverage, the extent of metering and per capita water supply in MC Sonipat. Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to explore the spread of COVID-19 and the water distribution system spatially. Results revealed that the water distribution system in the study area is based on a dead-end system which creates water stagnancy problems with water shortage conditions. It has also been found that the domestic water supply coverage is 81.3%, which fell short of its target levels & extent of metering of water connections is 85.7%, which further needs improvement. However, it could not achieve the desired targets due to a lack of funds. Overall, out of twenty wards, 25% of the wards are water-sufficient wards and the remaining 75% are facing water scarcity problems due to a lack of domestic water supply of approximately 9MLD. Nevertheless, since the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, 35% of the wards have experienced a slight increase in domestic water demand in MC Sonipat. To solve all facing challenges, the following strategies were proposed: 1) Expansion of domestic water supply coverage by substantial investment; 2) Extension of metering by providing subsidies; 3) Augmentation of water sources by setting up additional ranney wells and canals; 4) Strategizing domestic water demand by analyzing household’s water consumption pattern.
