- Residents in Pune were left frustrated and concerned after a routine water supply cut extended longer than expected, leaving many without access to clean water for an extended period.
- The PMC’s maintenance work at key distribution points, including the Parvati water plant and the Bhama Askhed pipeline, led to the water supply disruption. Although services were supposed to resume on Friday at a lower pressure, delays in restoration and contaminated water caused distress among residents.
- A resident from Mahatma Society expressed worries about potential health risks due to the polluted water, emphasizing the dangers of waterborne diseases for vulnerable groups with prolonged exposure.
- Civic authorities have acknowledged the issue and attributed it to possible dirt and debris in the pipes being released once the water supply was restored. They have promised further inspections to identify the cause and address the problem.
- In the meantime, residents have been advised to purify the water before consumption as a safety measure. This incident has sparked renewed concerns about water management in urban areas, with calls for the PMC to implement sustainable solutions for a continuous and safe water supply, especially during maintenance work.
