Officials and office-bearers of AMC find the water available in the headquarters unfit for drinking and order jars of drinking water. Aurangabad: At a time when the city is grappling with acute water crisis, water tanks installed in the civic administration’s headquarters at Town Hall have been overflowing, leading to loss of gallons of water on a daily basis.The lackadiasical attitude of Aurangabad Municipal Corporation does not end here. This goes on to show the apathy of the civic body which claims that water supply to the city is far less than its requirement and attributes water wastage to residents within the internal distribution network.Former official at Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran Rajendra Holani, who was hired by AMC to increase the capacity of water supply to the city, has appealed to residents to use water judiciously. Almost everyday, the tanks overflow and the water spills onto the lower terrace or directly to the ground through different outlets. “If people use water judiciously, the city’s water problem will be halved,” he said.The tanks installed on the terrace of the main building are enough to meet the water requirements of the office building..
