A big boost in the water supply to southern parts of Pune.
The southern parts of the city, such as Katraj, Dhankawdi, Katraj-Kondhwa Road, and parts of Sinhagad Road, will soon receive water on all days of the week.
Supply to these areas is currently being stopped one day each week.
Pune Municipal Corporation said it has constructed three overhead water tanks and laid supply lines to augment water availability in these areas.
Residents of these areas have been complaining of inadequate water supply for nearly two years, which they blamed on a lack of overhead tanks to store and supply the water.
PMC officials said most of the infrastructure was in place and that they would run basic trials from February 1, following which regular supply would start.
A civic official said so far, these areas had been getting water just from Wadgaon waterworks.
Now, we plan to supply additional water from the Padmavati pumping station, the official said.
The weekly water supply closure will be gradually phased out, the official said.
PMC’s water supply department head Anirudh Pavaskar confirmed that the administration was now in a position to supply water on all seven days.
“The southern areas have been facing water shortage.
To overcome this, the administration constructed additional tanks.
