Residents in multiple areas of Delhi may experience disruption in their water supply over the next forty-eight hours, starting Wednesday, the Delhi Jal Board has announced. The interconnection work on the city's water supply lines is underway, causing the inconvenience.
Water supply will be unavailable from 11 am on February 25 to 11 am on February 27.
“Inconvenience caused to the public is regretted,” the Board said in a statement.
The Board is connecting a new big water pipe (1500 mm wide, with two parallel lines) to the existing main water pipe at the Dwarka Water Treatment Plant in Bhagya Vihar. This is being done to reorganise the water flow in the main pipeline, according to the Board.
