Weekly water cutting in parts of pune more than repair to pump

Pune: The Civic body has decided to stop the water supply one day a week, starting this week, in several parts of the Satara Road, Katraj, Road Sinhagad, and the Katraj-Kondhwa road area to facilitate improvement at Rajiv Gandhi’s pump station.
Residents of these areas, fear large-scale disorders in water supply, have urged Pune Municipal Corporation to strictly follow the schedule and avoid more difficulties needed.
Residents say the water supply is stopped even once a week has a cascading effect on the next two days.
The local corporator has approached the water supply department looking for a daily review supply to eliminate unplanned chances of disorders.
PMC officials said the closure was planned to allow repairs to pumps at the station – supply to two overhead tanks in Katraj, Kondhwa and the parts of the Sinhagad road area would be affected, which led to water cutting.
Jobs tend to continue for a month, after that supply will be normalized, said an official.
Sanjay Rathi, who lives on Jalan Katraj-Kahhwa, said the area had faced a problem with a water supply and hoped that cuts did not worsen the situation.
“There should be no further cuts in the water supply, which will affect the pressure.
We want water to be supplied to adequate pressure so that our storage tank can be filled.,” Rathi said.
Local Corporator Prakash Kadam said that the entire city of the city faced a water crisis due to inadequate supply last year.
“Now the water supply will be stopped once more.
We have notified the water supply department to hold on to the schedule and ensure that every area gets adequate supply.
One day closure is possible, in fact, gives more water on the remaining days.
We will See whether this plan works effectively, “said Kadam.
Water supply will be affected by two tanks, respectively in Kedareshwar and Mahadevnagar.
PMC has established 14 zones, seven each attached to two tanks, as part of the closure.
Viraj Adhav, who lives in Sukhsagarnagar, said the uneven topography caused unfair water distribution.
“The government must deal with this challenge and streamline supply by dividing the area into sub-zones,” Adhav advice.
An official from the PMC Water Supply Department said working on an overhead tank in the Katraj-Kondhwa area was completed recently, which has increased the availability of water to a certain extent.
“We will now complete work related to pumping water; the electricity department will also be involved.
The work is complicated, which is why it takes time to be restored,” officially added.
