This was the government’s first attempt in putting waterways on the river in Sattari Taluka, an assistant engineer at the Valpoi Water Supply Office, Soma rose, told Ti.
The decision was taken at a meeting and high-level work that had just been held in 45 days.
Rising said that when working on restoring the water supply to the area was underway, the occupants of Paikul solely depend on water from the well.
“The neighboring villages are equipped with tanker water,” he said.
