NEW DELHI: The city’s water woes continue with many parts of south and east Delhi likely to face supply cuts on Wednesday due to sudden increase in turbidity and silt levels in Upper Ganga Canal.
This increase in mud, silt and turbidity has impacted the operations at two key water treatment plants (WTPs) catering to east and south Delhi. In an advisory issued on Tuesday, Delhi Jal Board urged people to use water judiciously as the production at the Sonia Vihar and Bhagirathi WTPs have been affected.

According to the water utility, the supply in areas of east and northeast Delhi, parts of south Delhi and some NDMC areas is likely to be affected in the morning and the evening on Wednesday.
The areas include south Delhi colonies like Vasant Kunj, Mehrauli, Greater Kailash, South Extension, Lajpat Nagar, Jal Vihar, Lodhi Road and Saket.
Sonia Vihar, Karawal Nagar, Babarpur, Tahirpur, Dilshad Garden, Nandnagari, Shahdara, Laxmi Nagar, Geeta Colony, Mayur Vihar and Kondli are likely to be affected. Delhi is already facing 50-60MGD raw water supply shortage from Haryana through the Yamuna.
