A water pipeline laid to improve water supply in Baner, Pashan and Sus burst near Pancard subway recently
On Sept 18, a pipeline in Balewadi was damaged due to the road works.
Local corporators said sudden damages to the pipeline and water supply closure led to hardships for citizens. The administration should have done an inspection of the entire stretch before starting the drilling work for the DP road, corporators said. This was the second such incident under Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC)’s jurisdiction in a week. At the time, several areas had faced water supply disruption for two days. The supply disruption impacted the areas like Bhusari Colony, Paramhansnagar, areas along Paud Road towards Chandni Chowk and various pockets in Pashan. The messages were distributed among people about possible delays in restoration of water supply.

PMC’s water supply department on Wednesday started repairing the pipeline at Warje Water Treatment Plant, and it continued till late evening.
