AJMER: The city will get piped water three days a week as the Bisalpur dam has received less inflows because of poor monsoon in the catchment areas.
The rationing of supply, which started from Sunday, will also affect the rural areas.
According to officials, Ajmer will receive 275 MLD of water, down from 305 to 310 MLD previously. The PHED has prepared a plan so that there is no scarcity of water in any area. Officials said that the 282 zones in the city which used to get water every two days will now get supply every three days.
In towns like Kishangarh and Beawar also, there will be supply once every three days. The rural districts will face more deduction and will get water every 80 to 85 hours.
Sources said with supply shortage, demand for water tankers will rise.
Bisalpur dam received over 310 metres of water and with rains in the last 72 hours in Bhilwara, Ajmer and Tonk, there is hope that more water will reach the reservoir.
