### Public Utilities
* **Electricity:** Power distribution is managed by the **Power and Electricity Department (P&E), Government of Mizoram**. Kolasib benefits from its proximity to hydroelectric projects, though seasonal outages can occur during heavy monsoons. * **Water Supply:** The **Public Health Engineering Department (PHED)** is responsible for water supply, heavily relying on the Tlawng River and local reservoirs. Rainwater harvesting is also a common practice among households. * **Waste Management:** The **Kolasib Town Committee** and the Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation (UD&PA) department oversee solid waste management. Efforts are increasingly focused on segregating organic and plastic waste. * **Telecommunications & Internet:** Major national providers such as Jio, Airtel, and BSNL provide 4G mobile connectivity and broadband services, though speeds can vary due to the hilly terrain. * **Gas:** Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders are the primary cooking fuel, distributed through local authorized agencies.
