NEW DELHI: The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) said on Saturday, April 17, that water supply will be affected for a week in some parts of the capital due to “reduced availability” of raw water from the Upper Ganga Canal. DJB also said that the production capacity at Sonia Vihar and Bhagirathi water treatment plants was reduced by 25 to 30 per cent. It added that water supply in areas of East Delhi, Northeast Delhi, South Delhi and North Delhi Municipal Corporation will remain affected in the evening.
Officials said that Delhi gets 250 million gallons of raw water a day through the Upper Ganga Canal and around 200 million gallons is being received at present. The Wazirabad and Chandrawal water treatment plants are supplying 184 MGD of drinking water presently.
Raghav Chadha, Vice Chairman, DJB, wrote to the Government of Haryana on Wednesday, April 14 to request them to address the issue of shortage in water supply of raw water and discharge of the pollutants in the Yamuna river from Haryana.
