Severe water shortage irks Ggm residents as agencies scramble to meet high demand

Hindustan Times  

Gurugram: The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority and the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram are struggling to meet the growing demand for water as residents despite implementing measures like curbing wastage and rationing water continue to grapple with a severe water shortage in the city. During the summer season, the city’s peak water demand touches 675 million litres per day, while the combined capacity of the Basai and Chandu Budhera water treatment plants stands at 570 MLD. “We have two boosting stations and enough supply from GMDA, but due to poor infrastructure at the old boosting station and poor planning of the new one, residents have been forced to buy water from tankers for the past 10 days. In DLF areas residents said the supply is erratic and they are relying on water tankers to meet the increased demand. GMDA has also written to DHBVN in this connection requesting continuous electricity at WTP Basai to ensure adequate water supply in the city,” he said.
