Hey there, folks of Pimpri-Chinchwad! If you’ve been wondering why your water supply has been acting up lately, we’ve got the scoop for you.
1. The city is currently receiving 610 MLD of water from Pavana and Andra dams, but with a population of over 3 million, it’s just not cutting it. Residents have been dealing with irregular, inadequate, and low-pressure water supply for the past five years. Talk about a frustrating situation!
2. The main issue? Land acquisition delays. 40% of the pipeline route needs permissions from various authorities, and only 2.5 out of 10 kilometers have been acquired so far. The struggle is real, folks.
3. And let’s not forget about the Andra Dam pipeline. Work on this section hasn’t even started yet, leaving residents high and dry. Water from the Indrayani River is being diverted to make up for the shortfall, but it’s only a temporary fix.
4. Officials are not happy about the slow progress. Additional Commissioner Pradeep Jambhale is cracking the whip on the contractor, and Chief Engineer Pramod Ombase is warning that the remaining work could take another year. Yikes!
So, Pimpri-Chinchwad, it looks like you’ll have to tough it out a little longer with the ongoing water supply issues. Hang in there, and let’s hope for a speedy resolution to these infrastructure woes. Stay hydrated, folks!
