Schedule power cuts with water supply hours to thwart illegal pumps: RMC

Raipur: The Raipur municipal commissioner has requested the power company to schedule electricity cuts during the water supply hours so that illegal practice of using pumps to excessively extract water and an equitable water distribution during peak summer can be ensured. RMC commissioner Vishwadeep has asked that this arrangement to occur from May 1 to June 15 of this year during morning and evening water supply hours to address temporary water shortages at pipeline tail-ends. People using an invertor may throw a wrench in the equitable aspirations of these plans. The RMC commissioner said that due to increased demand for drinking water in summer, many citizens use pumps to extract water, which disrupts equitable distribution and leads to inadequate water supply to households located at the tail end of pipelines. As a result, the civic body has been receiving frequent complaints about temporary water shortages. To ensure that every citizen receives sufficient drinking water during summer, it would be appropriate to suspend electricity in affected areas during the water supply periods mentioned above. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Experience three trade fairs with just one ticket Undo automatica 2025 Undo Laser World of Photonics Undo World of Quantum Undo Visit automatica: June 24-27, Munich Undo The RMC commissioner has written a letter to the superintending engineer of Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Limited (CSPDCL), Raipur. He urged that the power supply be suspended daily from 6:15 am to 6:45 am and 6:15 pm to 6:45 pm from May 1 to June 15, 2025, during the water supply hours. He has also asked the engineer to instruct subordinate staff in the concerned areas accordingly so that the summer water distribution can be managed smoothly. M. Vishwakarma, superintending engineer of the power distribution company, stated that they have received the letter. "We will take up the matter with the CSEB and make an appropriate decision," Vishwakarma said. Meanwhile, another senior officer in CSPDCL disagreed with the RMC commissioner's request for evening power cuts. After 6 pm, it gets dark and people need electricity. Practically, it may not be feasible. However, there is no issue with scheduled power cuts in the morning, which we have already implemented, the official said.
