 Pune Unauthorized Water Tap – (The Karbhari News Service) – Water Scarcity in Pune is being felt in some parts of Pune city.  Every day, hundreds of complaints are being received by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC).  In some areas, water supply seems to be improving (Pune PMC News).

 Action against 43 unauthorized taps in Keshavnagar area!

 Regarding this, Chief Engineer Nandkishor Jagtap of the Municipal Water Supply Department said that since the last few days there were many complaints of water shortage from Keshavnagar area.  Water was not reaching the last part of this area.  Due to this, the citizens were complaining to the Municipal Corporation.  Jagtap said that we have asked our employees to investigate this.  It was noticed that there are many unauthorized tap connections in Kumbharwada area.  The cowherds and citizens there had taken such a connection.  So water would go very less in the last part.  Accordingly, we took action against 43 unauthorized taps in this area and broke them.  Therefore, all the citizens were getting water in equal proportion.  This has also reduced the complaints of the citizens.

 Appeal to citizens not to take unauthorized taps

 In fact, it is the citizens who need to take care of this.  The water supply department always appeals not to take unauthorized taps but there is no response.  So some people do not get water at all.  So once again the water supply department has appealed to apply properly and get the connection.  Municipal Corporation provides water after such demand.  The department has warned to take action if unauthorized connections are found.

 Pune Water Crisis – (The Karbhari News Service) – Pune city’s thirst for water (PMC Water Supply) is increasing. Pune has four dams.  Water is taken from Bhama Askhed, Pavana Dam.  Still, Pune’s thirst is not quenched.  Pune needs more than 4 lakh tankers (Pune Water Tanker) in a year.  There are so many water complaints.  It is estimated that this situation will be dire in the future.  On this occasion, citizens are asking the question that when the PMC Equal Water Scheme will be implemented in Pune.  (PMC Water Supply Department)

 Pune city is supplied with water from Panshet, Khadakwasla, Temghar and Varasgaon dams of the Khadakwasla chain project and also from Bhama Askhed and Pavana dams.  16 TMC of water is used in a year through this.  However, this water is rarely seen falling.  Because of uneven water supply to citizens.  In some places, water is abundant, while in some places, one has to wait like a long wait for a drop of water.  Therefore, the municipality supplies water to these people through tankers.  (Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC)

 Some tankers are provided by the municipality, while in some places contractors’ tankers have to be used.  In some places, the citizens make the tanker facility available by themselves.  For this, the Municipal Corporation has provided tanker points.

 34 villages have been included in Pune city.  By giving water to these villages, the municipality has come under the nose.  Tankers also fall short here.  Water is not available from the tanker filling station in the dam at all places.  So citizens have time to use water from borings.  It is affecting the health of citizens.

 Meanwhile, according to the information provided by the Municipal Water Supply Department, 4 lakh 348 tankers were used during the period from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024.  Before that, 3 lakh 54 thousand 254 tankers were used in the city and area in the year 2022-23.  Before that, 3 lakh 6 thousand 842 tankers were used in the year 2021-22.  More water will be required in the next two months.  This question will continue to grow.  For this, the only option is to provide equal water supply.

Pune Water Crisis – (The Karbhari News Service) – पुणे शहराची पाण्याची (PMC Water Supply) तहान वरचेवर वाढतानाच दिसून येत आहे. पुण्याच्या उशाला चार धरणे आहेत. भामा आसखेड, पवना धरणातून पाणी घेतले जाते. तरीही पुण्याची तहान भागत नाही. वर्षभरात पुण्याला 4 लाख हून अधिक टँकर (Pune Water Tanker) ची आवश्यकता भासत आहे. एवढे असून पाण्याच्या खूप तक्रारी येत राहतात. आगामी काळात ही परिस्थिती भयंकर होणार, असा अंदाज आहे. समान पाणीपुरवठा (PMC Equal Water Scheme) पुण्याला कधी होणार, असा प्रश्न या निमित्ताने नागरिक विचारत आहेत. (PMC Water Supply Department)

पुणे शहराला खडकवासला साखळी प्रकल्पातील पानशेत, खडकवासला, टेमघर आणि वरसगाव धरणातून तसेच भामा आसखेड आणि पवना धरणातून पाणीपुरवठा केला जातो. या माध्यमातून वर्षभरात 16 टीएमसी पाणी वापरले जाते. असे असले तरी हे पाणी कमीच पडताना दिसून येते. कारण नागरिकांना होत असलेला असमान पाणीपुरवठा. काही ठिकाणी मुबलक पाणी मिळते तर काही ठिकाणी पाण्याच्या थेंबासाठी चातकासारखी वाट पाहावी लागते. त्यामुळे महापालिका या लोकांना टँकरच्या माध्यमातून पाणीपुरवठा करते. (Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC)

काही टँकर हे महापालिका पुरवते तर काही ठिकाणी ठेकेदारांचे टँकर वापरावे लागते. काही ठिकाणी नागरिक स्वतः चलन करून टँकर ची सुविधा उपलब्ध करून घेतात. त्यासाठी महापालिकेने टँकर पॉईंट उपलब्ध करून दिले आहेत.

पुणे शहरात 34 गावांचा समावेश झाला आहे. या गावांना पाणी देता देता पालिकेच्या नाकी नऊ आले आहे. इथे टँकर देखील कमी पडतात. सगळ्याच ठिकाणी धरणातील टँकर भरणा केंद्रावरून पाणी उपलब्ध होत नाही. त्यामुळे नागरिकांना बोअरिंग चे पाणी वापरण्याची वेळ येते. त्याचा परिणाम नागरिकांच्या आरोग्यावर होत आहे.

दरम्यान महापालिका पाणीपुरवठा विभागाने उपलब्ध करून दिलेल्या माहितीनुसार 1 एप्रिल 2023 ते 31 मार्च 2024 या कालावधीत 4 लाख 348 टँकर चा वापर करण्यात आला. त्या आधी म्हणजे 2022-23 या वर्षात 3 लाख 54 हजार 254 टँकर चा वापर शहर आणि परिसरात करण्यात आला. तर त्या पूर्वी म्हणजे 2021-22 या वर्षात 3 लाख 6 हजार 842 टँकर वापरले गेले. पुढील दोन महिन्यात तर अजून तर जास्त पाणी लागणार आहे. हा प्रश्न वाढतच जाणार आहे. त्यासाठी समान पाणीपुरवठा करणे, हा एकच पर्याय सध्यातरी समोर दिसतो आहे.
