Regular water cuts in Pune?
Meanwhile, Pune is facing an imminent water crisis as the Khadakwasala dam chain, a key water source, is rapidly depleting, the Water Conservation Department noted in a warning to the Pune Municipal Corporation. It has advised control over daily water consumption.
The Pune Municipal Corporation's water supply department will decide on water cuts after a review meeting and discussions with the Commissioner.
Last year, the PMC had decided to implement one day water cut due to delayed monsoon. However, the decision was rolled back by the civic body due to technical glitches and sufficient water followed y rainfall.
