Ranchi residents should prepare for temporary water supply disruptions in several areas between February 10th and 14th. These interruptions are necessary due to ongoing work on water pipelines. This work is related to the construction of railway overbridges and road widening projects around the city.
Water Supply Interruption Details
The Drinking Water and Sanitation Department is undertaking this essential pipeline relocation to accommodate the infrastructure improvements. The pipeline is being moved to facilitate the railway overbridge and road expansion. This work requires a temporary shutdown of the water supply to ensure the safety and efficiency of the project.
According to Chandrashekhar, Executive Engineer of the Drinking Water and Sanitation Department, this shutdown will also allow for a thorough inspection of the pipelines. The department will be looking for any leaks or damages and will make necessary repairs during this period. By proactively addressing potential issues, they aim to prevent future disruptions and maintain a reliable water service for the community. This proactive measure will ensure that the residents of Ranchi continue to have access to clean drinking water.
Affected Areas and Planning
The areas affected by this water shortage will primarily be those supplied by the pipeline near Nayasarai that is undergoing relocation. Residents in these areas are strongly encouraged to make necessary arrangements to manage their water needs during the four-day period. It’s a good idea to store extra water for drinking, cooking, and other essential uses.
The Drinking Water and Sanitation Department understands that these disruptions can be inconvenient and is asking for the public’s patience and understanding. They are committed to completing the work as quickly as possible to restore normal water service to all affected areas.
