Several parts of Delhi will see water supply disruption on Thursday and Friday as the Delhi Jal Board has undertaken work to connect new pipelines.
The national capital's residents had also experienced water supply interruptions on Tuesday earlier this week while the Delhi Jal Board carried out maintenance work.
The Delhi Jal Board reports that water supply will not be available in a number of locations, including those in northwest, west, central, and south Delhi, from 10 am on January 12 to 10 pm on January 13.
"The water supply to the following areas/colonies will not be available from 10:00 AM on January 12 to 10:00 PM on January 13 due to interconnections of newly laid raw water mains within Haiderpur Water Treatment Plant Phase-I," the DJB tweeted.
Residents of the impacted areas have been urged to stockpile enough water. Additionally, residents can ask the Board for water tankers.
To register complaints, citzens can contact central control room at 011-23527679 and 1916.
