Nagpur, India: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and Orange City Water (OCW) have announced a 30-hour water supply shutdown starting at 10:00 AM on Monday, October 21, 2024. The shutdown is necessary for replacing a 40-meter section of an 800mm mild steel (MS) pipeline located near Ramjhula, close to Nagpur Railway Station.
This pipeline, which supplies water to the Sitabuldi Fort-1 Ground Service Reservoir (GSR), has severely deteriorated and is beyond repair. Currently running through a drainage system and submerged during the rainy season, the pipeline frequently causes disruptions. The replacement will involve installing a new section at a higher level, away from drain water, ensuring a reliable water supply to the Sitabuldi Fort-1 command area.
Areas Affected by Water Supply Disruption:
- Bhaldarpura
- Khandan
- Jyoti Nagar
- Santra Market
- Choti Khadan
- Pothi Gall
- Gandhibagh Market
- Ganjakhet
- Teen Naal Chowk
- Chitnis Park
- Mayo Hospital
- Badkas Chowk
(and several other localities)
Residents and businesses in these areas may experience water shortages or complete disruptions during this period.
For further information, residents can contact the NMC-OCW Helpline at 1800 266 9899 or email contact@ocwindia.com.
The NMC and OCW appreciate the cooperation and patience of Nagpur citizens during this essential maintenance work.
