Water woes persist in Pashan, Baner & Bavdhan areas after leakage in pipeline

Pune: Water supply disruptions persisted in the Pashan, Baner and Bavdhan areas till Tuesday afternoon after a leakage developed in the water pipeline the previous evening, with repairs wrapping up in the early hours. PMC officials said they expected to restore supply to full capacity by Wednesday. Repairs to the water supply line impacted pumping at Chandni Chowk and Pashan overhead tanks, disrupting water supply to Pashan and Baner. Residents of Bavdhan received water supply at extremely low water, while those in Pashan went without water till late afternoon. Pashan resident Vinayak Sawant said the water supply disruptions started on Monday night and continued till late Tuesday morning. "Areas that were to receive water on Tuesday morning faced more hardships," he said.

"Water supply to areas in Bhusari Colony, Paud Road and Bavdhan was stopped on Monday night after the fault was detected near a valve. The work continued overnight and water pumping resumed early next morning, following which supply was initiated from the Chandni Chowk and Pashan overhead tanks," a civic official said. The officials said they were hoping to restore supply to full capacity by Wednesday. "The administration kept tankers ready to supply water to the affected areas on Tuesday. The arrangement will continue on Wednesday," the official said, adding that they were ascertaining the technical reasons behind the leakage in the pipeline.
