Similarly, bringing down the leakages and taking up repair would be the priority in different parts of old city.
As per the new plan of action for old city drinking water supply, the old pipelines would be repaired and streamline the distribution across various localities in old city. Tenders have been called for taking up the works in old city from interested and prospective consultancies. Water board claims that it is supplying drinking water to about 2.6 lakh consumers through connections and this capacity would be enhanced in the coming days. It is to be noted that several slum and remote areas in old city do not get proper drinking water supply even during rainy season and summer comes as a nightmare for these colonies.
Many areas depend upon water tankers for their drinking water needs. Reacting to the number of complaints from old city for water supply, water board is now working on new project.
