Overview
- Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited is repairing the main canal’s concrete lining for about ten days, which requires lowering canal water levels.
- The reduced flow limits raw water reaching the Kotarpur Water Treatment Plant, which normally treats about 1,100 MLD for roughly 170 distribution stations across all city zones.
- Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation projects a shortfall of 50 to 60 MLD, which equals roughly 10 to 15 percent of daily supply from Kotarpur.
- To bridge the gap, AMC has switched from gravity feed to continuous pumping at Kotarpur and has activated borewells at distribution stations.
- Residents may face lower pressure or shorter supply windows during peak hours, and officials are asking people to conserve water until normal levels resume.
