Alternate day water supply to 65% residents of Nagpur city

NAGPUR: Come January 6, 65% of Nagpur city residents will get alternate day water in their taps. NMC is taking up repair works of leakage in 2,300 mm pipeline supplying 480 MLD water from Pench reservoir.
To pave way for the repair works, the NMC will supply alternate day water to 65% city including Laxmi Nagar, Dharampeth, Hanuman Nagar, Nehru Nagar, Gandhibagh, Mangalwari and parts of Satranjipura and Ashi Nagar zones for 30 days, said water works committee chairman Vijay Zalke.
Zalke on Thursday visited the spot of leakage between Itgaon and Karambhad. "At least four spots of huge leakages in 2300 mm diameter pipeline were detected. At least 5 mld water is going waste everyday.
"If we don't take repair works now, the city may face water shortage during summer season," he told TOI.
