Residents Are Advised To Store Water Before Cut

The civic body has asked residents to take note of the temporary disruption and store adequate water before the repair work begins. The AMC said the work is necessary to repair the leakage in the Western Trunk Main and ensure the proper functioning of the water supply network.

A few days ago, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) announced a 10-day cut in water supply on account of pre-monsoon repair work of the Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) lining of the Narmada Canal to be carried out by the Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd.

The canal, which supplies raw water to the Kotarpur Water Treatment Plant, is undergoing repairs to its damaged reinforced concrete lining. This essential work aims to ensure the canal's integrity and continued operations.
