Introduction:
Prior to 1961 when Mizoram was one of the Districts under Assam, the Organization of PHED was still so small that Mizoram was looked after by a single sectional Office headed by a Sectional Officer/Junior Engineer under jurisdiction of Karimganj PHE Sub Division. In the year 1961, the PHED started survey and investigation for the Aizawl Water Supply Scheme with a proposal to pump water from Serlui A to Tuikhuahtlang. Then in the year 1963, the Assam Government created Aizawl PHE Division with 2(two) sub- divisions to look after the execution of the Aizawl Water Supply Scheme.
When Mizoram became Union Territory in the year 1972, the Mizoram PHED was placed under the Mizoram PWD under the administration of Principal Engineer. Since then, the GoM, in realizing the need for accelerating implementation of Water Supply and Sanitation Programme, had put continuous effort to expand the PHED by creating new Investigation Division in 1975 and opening of PHE Circle in 1980 with creation of another Division named as Aizawl Division No-II. With a view to further expand PHED Department’s activities in the southern part of the state, The Investigation Division, along with its sub- Division was transferred from Aizawl to Lunglei on 12th may, 1979 and renamed as Lunglei Division.
The PHE Department was finally bifurcated from the parent PWD in the year 1983 to become independent entity with Superintending Engineer as Head of Department and four Working Divisions. From then on till date, the Department continued growing, meeting water and sanitation demands of the State to its present state.
At present, at the Directorate level, the Department is headed by one Engineer-In-Chief and assisted by one Chief Engineer (Hqrs & WR). The organization is further divided into two zones i.e Zone-I & Zone-II each headed by Chief Engineer and one unit dedicated to implementation of GoI’s Scheme viz,. PMU, Jal Jeevan Mission and Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) headed by one Director in the level of Chief Engineer (on deputation). Under the two Chief Engineers, there are 7 Superintending Engineers and 16 working Divisional Offices headed by Executive Engineers and 67 Sub-Divisional Offices headed by SDO.
