Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Newly appointed Divisional Commissioner G Sreekanth reviewed the new city water supply scheme on Thursday. He directed the concerned officers to ensure that the target of providing water to the city by May 2026 is achieved. The testing to bring water from Jayakwadi Dam to Nakshatrawadi Water Purification Centre has been completed successfully.

He directed the officers to identify the reasons for leakage in the pipelines during testing and to take long-term measures to address the issue. He also stressed the need for proper planning for water distribution and timely completion of pending works. All works should be of good quality, and all concerned departments should work in coordination, he said.
