After once-a-week water cut across the city to mitigate the possible water shortage due to delayed rain, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has decided to go for an alternate day water supply in parts of the city that is unable to get sufficient water.
Annirudha Pawaskar, chief engineer of the civic body’s water supply department, said the new arrangement will start on June 10.
“As per the planning, the PMC has started water cuts every Thursday for the entire city. This has affected the water supply in Kharadi with complaints of insufficient water supply on all the days of the week. Thus, it has been decided to implement alternate day water cut in the Kharadi area with the scattered schedule in different parts to overcome the problem,” the officer said.
According to the new schedule for the area, there will be water supply in Chaudhariwasti, Satavwasti, Pandharinagar, Gulmohar, Rakshanagar and Shankarnage from 9.30 am to 2 pm on Fridays, Sundays and Tuesdays.
On the same days, Chandannagar, Shrikrishna Society, Hanuman Shala, Mathuranagar, Sangharsh Chowk, Shivaji Putla, Dutt Prasad, Chavannagar, Trimurti Society, Pratinagar, Samta Society, Mhada Society and Nagarpal road will get water from 1.30 pm to 6 pm.
On Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays, areas such as Ganpati Society, Tukaramnagar, Boratewasti, Zensar, Thitenagar and Patilbuva Nagar will get water from 9.30 am to 2 pm.
