THE Durg Municipal Corporation area needs to replace a 600 mm valve near the Malviya Nagar complex as such water supply will be affected from the evening of January 5, (Monday) until the morning of January 6. On Monday the 24 MLD filter will be shut down after the morning water supply to carry out this maintenance work, which will affect water supply to the areas connected to the tanks.

 

It is noteworthy that the rising pipeline supplying water to the tanks in Malviya Nagar, Shankar Nala, the area across the railway tracks, Shani Chari Bazaar, Shankar Nagar, and Girdhari Nagar has a major leak, and the valve needs to be replaced at that location. A shutdown was implemented a fortnight ago for this purpose, but due to a large leak in the pipeline and lack of time, the work could not be completed.

 

The Water Department is now fully prepared to carry out this work with a complete shutdown on January 5th. Mayor Alka Baghmare, Commissioner Sumit Agarwal, and Water Department In-charge Leena Dinesh Dewangan have appealed to the citizens of the affected areas that the corporation will provide water through tankers in the affected areas as per demand and requirement.

 

Therefore, citizens are requested to store sufficient water in advance. The affected areas include Padmanabhpur Tank: Ward No. 43, 44, 45, 46, Shankar Nagar Tank: Ward No. 10, 11, 12, 13, Shakti Nagar Tank: Ward No. 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, Girdhari Nagar Water Tank: Ward No. 9, 5, Hanuman Nagar Water Tank: Ward No. 19, 20, 21, Transport Nagar Water Tank: Ward No. 16, Shanichari Bazar Water Tank: Ward No. 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 (Partial).
