Noida: Ganga water supply to the apartment complex and housing blocks Noida will be stopped from Sunday for the next few days, officials said.
Supply, they said, will be limited by the irrigation department because of the annual maintenance work at the Ganges Canal.
Authority Noida provides 240 million liters of ganga water in the city every day.
However, total dissolved solid levels are expected to remain on the higher side for the next few days because ground water will be supplied to residents.
Daily requests in Noida are estimated by authority around 340 MLD.
Officials that are mediated in the Water Division of Water and Sewerage in authority said the normal supply is expected to be recovered from November 4 on day people will celebrate Diwali.
“The irrigation department has told us about the shutdown of 20 days for maintenance work.
Desilting and repair of the retaining wall must be done.
Therefore, the canal must be dried.
Until then, we will exploit our resources with their maximum capacity to improve the quality of domestic water supply, “said Deputy General Manager of the Department of Water and Sewerage, Rp.
Singh.
Officials said that maintenance work took 30 days but this time it will be completed in 20 days.
They said that they had made provisions and save water in the underground reservoir to handle the daily needs of the population until Thursday, “added the officer.
Meanwhile, the authority relied on Ranney’s well to meet the demands of the population.
Authority has 11 Ranney Wells, which has capacity supply up to 18 months to the city.
However, five of them non-operational or less utilized due to technical problems or obstacles.
The authority has floated the tender to make it operational.
Secretary General of the Federation of Noida from the apartment owner association, Rajesh Sahay said, “From 2019, I Had heard of the tender floating by Noida authorities to repair the well and tubewell ranney.
I don’t understand why they can’t do it before supply is closed every October.
