During 36-hours shutdown, technical leakage plugging works like leakage repairing on Kanhan-1300 feeder main near N Kumars Bunglow at Kamptee Road, leakage repairing on Kanhan-900 feeder main at Kanhan WTP premises and another leakage repairing on Kanhan-600 feeder main at Kanhan WTP premises. A 600×600 mm interconnection of pipeline work will also be carried out at Lakadganj ESR premises along with several other Kanhan WTP maintenance work will also be carried out during shutdown.

As shutdown is needed to save potable water & reduce non-revenue water (NRW), NMC & OCW has appealed citizens from above-mentioned affected areas to co-operate and store sufficient water for their use in advance.

Following this 36-hours shutdown, water supply in almost 33 ESR’s from 4 zones of Satranjipura, Lakadganj, Aasi Nagar and Nehru Nagar zone shall remain affected. Further as 33 ESR’s will remain empty, water supply through Tankers will also be not possible during and after shutdown in affected areas.

After completion of technical work, it will take a few more hours to clear the air trapping and restore the flow at ESR’s inlet & the actual water supply in the affected areas, so water supply on early morning of Nov 23 (Wednesday ) may be limited and with low pressure.

Water supply from 33 ESR (Overhead water Tanks) to remain affected during shutdown are:

AshiNagar Zone : Bezonbagh ESR , Binaki -Existing , Binaki-1&2 , Indora-1&2, Gamdoor DT, Chappal Karkhana DT, & Jaswant Talkies DT command areas & Uppalwadi (NIT) ESR

Satranjipura Zone: Bastarwadi-1 & Bastarwadi 2 ,Shanti Nagar ESR, Wanjari (Vinoba Bhave Nagar) , Itabhatti Square DT,
