After frequent and prolonged power outages, now the water supply has also been hit in several parts of Gurgaon.
The water supply in DLF areas has been badly hit for the past one week.
“The local councillor has pressed two water tankers in service and one has been provided by the DLF as well, but still people are not getting water. We have met the Deputy Commissioner, the Haryana Urban Development Authority Administrator and officials of the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam, but they are shifting blame on each other. No one has the solution to the problem,” said R.S. Rathee, president, DLF Qutab Enclave.
“Despite being a posh colony, the residents are deprived of basic necessities such as water and power. The entire area is dependent on water tankers,” said a DLF Phase-I resident Gaurav.
Besides DLF areas, water supply has also been affected in Nirvana Country, Sushant Lok-I, South City-II and in Sectors 49 and 50.
No supply
“The water supply from HUDA has reduced to half over the past few weeks. Earlier we received 10 lakh litres of water, now the supply stands at a little over four lakh litres,” said Sanu Kapila, president, Nirvana RWA.
Zile Singh, president of Sarawati Vihar RWA, said that the water supply to the area was hit more than a month ago.
“We are totally dependent on water tankers. A water tanker costs Rs.1,500 per day. We complained to the DC office on May 5, but there is no respite,” said Mr. Singh.
Erratic power supply to water treatment plants
A senior HUDA official claimed that the water supply was hit due to erratic power supply at water treatment plants and in the residential areas.
“There is no scarcity of water. The water supply is affected due to erratic power supply at water treatment plants and residential areas. We have written to the DHBVN to improve power supply at water treatment plants,” said the official.
