Panaji: Lumped by water misery, the occupants of Cortalim now threaten to come out on the streets in protests if the regular supply is not restored.
Residents say that while their taps are dry, neighboring Vasco, Dabolim, Mormugao and surrounding areas have received unlimited water supply.
“However, there is a lack of water for months now, for the past few days, there is absolutely no water supply because of the problem with the filtration system.
If the department finds it is very difficult to solve this problem, they can show the residents of the valve location – which can be We turn on and turned on responsibly, “said former Sarpanch Raymond Village.
“There are business companies, offices, markets and public toilets in Cortalim.
Over the past few days, this toilet must be closed due to lack of water and a foul odor comes from the toilet bowl.
This creates a health hazard for us,” said one occupant.
Many areas facing low water pressure because their overhead tank does not fill, force the population to store water, which runs out after some time.
“There is a solution to this problem such as PWD supplying water through tankers until the supply supply.
However, we are expelled from this too.
In such situations, we will not have a choice but come out on the streets and hold Dharna,” said a resident.
Meanwhile, connecting water shortages into a problem with the supply of entering from the Dam Selaulim, a PWD official told TII, “The beginning of more than 80 MLD is being released which has now dropped to around 65 MLD.
The water supply will be restored in a few days.”
