Two months on, water woes continue in city
AURANGABAD: Even as the country celebrates the new government, Devanagri residents are still going through tough times. Despite efforts, their plea for regular supply of drinking water from the AMC has fallen on deaf ears.
Since February, the water supply system of the entire city has collapsed. At that moment the AMC authorities had shifted the blame to the erratic power supply. "The Aurangabad Municipal Corporation's water distribution system cannot afford disruption in power supply or any technical glitches since it takes long time to restore the water supply to the city," AMC executive engineer Hemant Kolhe had said on March 18.
But even after two months, the supply system has not been regularised in the city. Recently when citizens of many parts complained of irregular water supply, the AMC authorities claimed that they had increased the quantity of water pumping from Jayakwadi reservoir.
"The AMC normally pumps 135-140 MLD water from the reservoir for the city. But due to summer the demand has risen and the AMC is now pumping 156 MLD water and is also recycling about 3 MLD water," Kolhe had said a fortnight back.
But citizens remain unfazed "It is a mystery that even after all efforts to pump extra water from the reservoir, the AMC is neither able to check water loss nor find any solution to tackle water crisis," said Sneha Naldurgkar, resident of Devanagri.
She said, "I have not been receiving drinking water from the last one month and nor has my neighbour. In spite of repeated pleas, ward corporator Sadhana Suradkar has failed to take concrete measures."
