Apart from west, central and parts of south Nagpur, localities receiving water supply from Kanhan pumping station, mostly from north and east Nagpur, will also receive low pressure and restricted water supply during shut down hours.
NMC water supply committee chairman, Prakash Totwani informed that WWD had decided to replace the main valve (1000 mm x 40 inch) on the pipeline that connects Gorewada dam to Pench III and Pench II purification centre. The valve has become developed leakages and hundreds of litres of water has been leaking from it each day for years. The department did not taken any measure to check the colossal waste all this time.
NMC at present supplies 540 million litres a day (MLD) to the city. The city gets 140 MLD from Pench-I, 140-MLD from Pench-II, 116 MLD-Pench III, 15-MLD from old Gorewada and 120 MLD from Kanhan plant. Of this, around 20% goes waste due to leakages from valves. "The valve replacement work will cost around Rs 7.5 lakh. Many localities especially from west and central Nagpur will not receive any water supply during these days. A few localities from south and central Nagpur will get supply as per schedule on July 23," Motwani added.
Totwani urged citizens to store additional water on Wednesday to meet the situation. "We are planning to store additional water in Gittikhadan, Ramdeobaba, Ram Nagar, Laxminagar, Pande Lay Out , Khamla, Jaitala, Chinchbhuvan, Kannamwar Lay Out, Killa, Burdi and Mahal overhead tanks to supply areas dependent on tankers," he said.
Totwani did not rule out possibility of low pressure and limited supply even on Saturday as the system would take time to get fully functional.
''Despite a good monsoon this year, citizens would suffer water cuts'' IT SEEMS THERE IS NO SH0RTAGE OF WATER BUT NMC IS NOT BOTHERED ABOUT LEAKAGES IN THE LINES. LIVE EXAMPLE IS THE LEAKAGE AT INDORA CHAWK POLICE QUARTERS. THE PIPE LINE IS TOTALLY DAMAGED AND WATER IS FLOWING IN TO GUTTER. CONCERNED OFFICER MR. DHAKATE, MR JUNGHARE OF NMC SATRANJIPURA ARE AWARE BUT ARE NOT TAKING ACTION.
