Abstract: Now a day’s water scarcity is burning issue. As it is quite obvious that there is day to day increase in population, the demand for water also increases to satisfy the needs of the community there comes a necessity to redesign the existing treatment plants, or design the new treatment plants. Redesign or design includes hydraulic design and process of treatment of water in the plant. For hydraulic design of the plant, we need to forecast the population. We forecasted the population by geometrical method. To design the treatment process of water we need to know the properties of raw water. The physical, chemical and biological properties of water have been determined. The average measured values of physical properties are Turbidity-15NTU, colour97.7%T,and chemical proprieties are pH -7.18, TDS-550µs, conductivity-559µs, D.O-6ppm, hardness-162ppm, chlorides-16ppm, alkalinity-165ppm, BOD-6ppm, nitrates-5ppm,and sulphates have found to be zero ppm. The method of treatment of raw water is based on these properties. We are designing the water treatment plant for pulivendula. The source of raw water is Chitravathi River from here through canal the water is stored in nakkalapalli storage tank. The properties of water changes based on its surface source. Thus there is a lot of importance to design treatment plant to pulivendula municipality. The dimensions of screens 0.61x0.31m, sedimentation tank 34.5x8.6x3m, and flash mixer dimension 1.2x3m, Clariflocculator dimension is 19m diameter, 2.9 m height, and filter system total height is 2.7m
