Overview
- The Delhi Jal Board, the city’s water utility, issued a roster that limits supply to once daily in parts of North and Central Delhi, with some areas receiving water only in the morning and others only in the evening.
- Officials say the Chandrawal Water Treatment Plant is producing 47 million gallons per day out of its 58 MGD capacity, with the remaining 11 MGD pending restoration.
- Authorities trace the disruption to a damaged 600-mm pipeline and flooding in the plant’s pump house, and they report recurring motor faults during the phased restart.
- The Delhi government has diverted about 100 additional water tankers to the affected neighborhoods to keep basic supply going, including pockets under the New Delhi Municipal Council.
- Residents in places such as Karol Bagh, Patel Nagar and Rajendra Nagar report dry taps and unresponsive helplines, and officials caution that shortages will continue through the weekend as repairs proceed.
