NMC, OCW restore clean, adequate water supply for Dabha residents
Nagpur: After days of distress due to inadequate and contaminated water supply, thousands of households in Nagpur's Dabha area finally received relief. Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and Orange City Water (OCW) restored both the quantity and quality of water in several affected localities.
Residents of Orange Metro City, Gurudatt Society, Ganesh Nagar, Madavi Layout, New Shanti Nagar, and Shivhare Layout were facing low water pressure and irregular supply, forcing authorities to resort to tanker water. In response, OCW connected these areas to the newly constructed Dabha-2 AMRUT Elevated Service Reservoir (ESR), significantly improving water distribution.
In parallel, complaints of contaminated water near Jagdish Nagar Community Hall, under Dabha-1 AMRUT ESR zone, triggered a detailed inspection.
OCW deployed a RoboCam to investigate the internal condition of pipelines and discovered old and unidentified connections that were likely sources of contamination. The pipelines were flushed and cleaned, but with issues persisting, OCW quickly proposed a Renewal and Replacement (RR) plan.
NMC sanctioned the RR proposal on priority. A new pipeline was laid, and the old one — prone to leaks and unauthorised connections — was decommissioned.
All illegal connections were removed, and clean water supply was restored with proper pressure.
These coordinated efforts by NMC and OCW brought considerable relief to the residents, many of whom expressed serious health concerns. With the new infrastructure now in place, water quality and supply have stabilised, and citizens have expressed satisfaction with the improvement.
For any further concerns or information on water supply, citizens can contact the NMC-OCW helpline at 1800 266 9899 or email contact@
