JAIPUR: Around 25% of the city will face drinking water crisis on Monday and Tuesday in the wake of a planned supply shutdown in some areas for repair and maintenance of Amanishah headworks and pump house.
The supply cut from 10am on Monday to 4pm on Tuesday will impact supply in Vidyadhar Nagar, Shastri Nagar, Harmada, Murlipura, Vishwakarma and Ambabadi.
Public health and engineering department (PHED) said a population of more than 5 lakh will face water crisis. PHED officials, however, said supply would be done through tankers.
Additional chief engineer of PHED Manish Beniwal said, “Maintenance and cleaning will be done at the storage and pump house at Amanishah headworks. Apart from this, there is leakage at some places in the pump house as well, which made it necessary for repairs. We will be supplying through tankers and will try to minimise any kind of problem faced by the public.”
Normal supply will resume from September 29.
