Chandigarh to face low-pressure water supply on 12 to 13 November
The Story in Brief
Chandigarh's evening water supply will run at low pressure on 12 and 13 November because of a 48-hour shutdown for pipeline replacement work. The Municipal Corporation Chandigarh is replacing a damaged PSC rising main with a 1200 mm diameter MS pipeline at Village Sangatpura and Village Sukhmoajra under the 24×7 Water Supply Project.
Raw water pumping from Phase-III Kajouli to the Water Works in Sector 39 will be suspended during the shutdown. On both days, the morning supply from 3:30 AM to 9:00 AM will be at full pressure. The evening supply from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM will be at low pressure. The corporation has asked residents to store water in advance and cooperate during the work.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 48-hour shutdown affects every Chandigarh household that depends on the evening municipal supply, which will drop to low pressure on both days. Residents must store water for cooking, bathing and cleaning between 6 PM and 8:30 PM on 12 and 13 November. The work replaces a damaged rising main with a larger MS pipeline, part of a long-term 24×7 supply upgrade. The morning supply remains at full pressure, so the disruption is partial. No further outages or extension dates have been announced. Cooperation from residents is sought, but the corporation has not specified how low the evening pressure will be.
