AHMEDABAD: The water supply and sewerage committee of the civic body has ordered a survey of all lakes in the city to chart out a plan to recharge them with rainwater. In a meeting of the committee held on Friday after discussions, Jatin Patel, chairman of the committee, instructed the officials to conduct the survey and then make a plan to recharge city lakes.
Patel said that since March, the water supply and sewerage department has readied six overhead water tanks for the public. “One overhead tank is not yet operational in Vastral as the residents have not paid connection charges,” Patel said.
In another meeting held by the roads and building committee, the commissioner was told that the civic body has completed 90% of its pre-monsoon preparedness plan.
The committee also approved the proposal to construct 21 ‘pink toilets’ for women in the city.
