Nagpur Water Woes: City Faces Supply Cuts Oct 6-7
4 Oct
Summary
- Water supply disruptions expected in Nagpur on October 6 and 7.
- Pench-4 and Pench-1 water treatment plants undergoing maintenance.
- Residents advised to store water due to scheduled shutdowns.
Water supply in multiple areas of Nagpur is slated to be impacted on October 6 and 7. This is due to planned maintenance and repair work at the Pench-4 and Pench-1 water treatment plants, as well as the 33kV NMC feeder at Navegaon Khairy. The most significant disruption will be at the Pench-4 WTP, with a 36-hour shutdown from October 6 to October 7. This closure is for pipeline shifting and meter replacement work, affecting areas including Nara, Jaripatka, and Dhantoli. Additionally, the Pench-1 WTP will be shut for 18 hours on October 6 for pump repair and valve installation, impacting localities such as GH-Buldi and Reshimbagh. A separate, shorter shutdown of the 33kV NMC feeder on October 6 is for cable replacement and tree trimming, affecting areas like Laxmi Nagar Old and Civil Lines. NMC-OCW urges residents in affected zones to conserve water during these periods. Assistance is available via their helpline at 1800 266 9899.
