The Municipal Corporation has undertaken a uniform water supply scheme to ensure equitable supply of water to all parts of the city.
According to the plan, everyone will have 24 hours water supply. Under the scheme, besides laying 1,800 km of new waterways, repairing old and dilapidated waterways, construction of 87 storage tanks and installation of water gauges for residential and commercial properties has been started.
The scheme is also planned to be implemented in 34 villages. The Municipal Corporation has appointed a consultant for this. The work on a similar water supply scheme will start for the villages of Sus, Mahalunge and Bavdhan.
