Water supply to be cut in these Delhi areas
Heads up, west Delhi!
The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) is shutting off water in over 40 areas from 11am February 25 to 11am February 27.
This planned pause is so they can hook up a new water line at Bhagya Vihar with the Dwarka Water Treatment Plant.
List of affected neighborhoods
Neighborhoods like Dwarka, Mahavir Enclave, Uttam Nagar, Bijwasan, Raj Nagar Phases I & II, Sagar Pur, Mangla Puri and Najafgarh Town are all on the list—plus IGI Airport and nearby villages.
DJB suggests you store enough water ahead of time. They're also rolling out tankers at different spots if you run short.
Why the water supply issues?
Apart from the upgrade work, water supply at the Haiderpur plants has dropped by up to 75%, while Dwarka has also been affected by ammonia spikes in the Yamuna river and maintenance on the Munak Canal.
DJB has urged residents to use water judiciously and announced tanker deployments and interconnection works.
