In a recent development, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has revised its decision regarding the scheduled water supply shutdown in the city. Originally, the PMC had announced a complete halt to the water supply throughout Pune every Thursday, starting from May 18. However, due to challenges faced by the administration in ensuring a smooth water distribution system, a new strategy has been devised.
Instead of a blanket shutdown affecting the entire city, the PMC will now implement a targeted approach by shutting off the water supply in specific areas on designated days. This revised plan is set to take effect from May 25, aiming to minimize disruptions while addressing the technical difficulties encountered.
Anirudh Pavaskar, the Head of the Water Supply Department, shed light on the decision, emphasizing the geographical structure, pumping mechanisms, and distribution system as key factors influencing the adjustment. He revealed that the affected areas falling under the Vadgaon Budruk Water Purification Center, which is a part of South Pune, have been subjected to separate planning.
The areas that will experience temporary water supply closures include Vadgaon Budruk, Dhankawadi, Ambegaonpathar, Agam Mandir, Balaji Nagar, Katraj, Sukhsagarnagar, Kondhwa Budruk, Yevlewadi, and Upper Indiranagar. Each of these areas will have a specific day assigned for water shutdowns, ensuring a more localized and manageable approach to maintenance and repair work.
This new strategy aims to streamline operations and improve the overall water supply management system in Pune. Residents are advised to stay informed about the designated day for water shutdown in their respective areas to make necessary arrangements in advance.
PMC officials remain committed to ensuring minimal inconvenience during these temporary disruptions and are working diligently to resolve the technical challenges faced by the water distribution system.
