Summer plan in place for water problems
has adopted a ‘special action plan’. All technical issues related to
water supply would be handled by a 30-member team of engineers
constituted by the Noida Jal Board.
The engineers will mitigate
supply-related problems at the tubewells or in the pipelines. The
action plan would be in operation from May 1 to July 31.
The
team has been handed over the primary task of checking various
tube-wells of the Authority operating in various parts of the city. The
team would ensure that the tube-wells remain in perfect working
conditions throughout the summer months.
Officials said that
during summers tubewells often break down due to heavy loads. “If the
problem is minor, the team will undertake repairs immediately. Heavier
maintenance work would be carried out by technicians,” said an official.
The team will also regularly inspect the network of pipelines for
breakages and blockages.
Besides, the Authority has launched an
emergency helpline number. Residents facing problems can dial
0120-2421490 to report the problem. The helpline is at the office of
Division-I of the Jal Board
in Sector 5 and would be operational from 6am to 10pm. “The complaints
would be immediately passed over to concerned engineers for remedial
measures,” added an official.
