The district administration is conducting a thorough cleaning of all underground water reservoirs in Greater Noida to address growing concerns about water quality and health risks, officials said on Friday. Out of the city’s 19 reservoirs, 14 have been cleaned, with the remaining five scheduled for completion by July 6, according to the water department.
“The cleaning of underground reservoirs is being carried out as per the pre-decided schedule. Water department officials have been instructed to ensure that the work is completed on time without compromising on hygiene standards,” said Prerna Singh, additional chief executive officer (ACEO), after inspecting progress on Thursday, according to the HT report.
Greater Noida Sector-Wise Schedule For Cleaning
To minimise disruption during cleaning, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has published a detailed sector-wise schedule and arranged water supply via tankers where needed. Cleaning at Sector MU-1 EWS Society is underway from June 13 to 15. Sectors 36 and 37 will be cleaned from June 17 to 19; Gamma I, Gamma II, Beta I, and Beta II from June 22 to 24; Alpha I and II from June 26 to 28; Delta I, II, and III from June 30 to July 2; and the Sports Complex between July 4 and 6.
Tanker Requirement Helpline Number
Residents have been notified in advance about low water pressure during the cleaning, and helplines (7983604110, 9811839456, 9873763995, 9899331572, 9654302913, 8130504019, 8377911380, 9871090100) are active for tanker requests. “The cleaning schedule has also been uploaded to the authority’s official website for public access,” added Singh.
According to the HT report, Sandeep Mehta, a resident of Gamma II, said, “We have had complaints earlier of foul-smelling tap water during summers. This cleaning drive is reassuring.” However, Rajeev Thakur of Delta added, “Advance intimation and better timing could have helped. Many residents are unaware of the tanker facility.”
