Newly inaugurated underground reservoir will benefit approximately 1.5 lakh residents of Hari Nagar & Delhi Cantt. Constituency
Delhi Government is leaving no stone unturned to ensure potable water supply to every household in Delhi
NEW DELHI:
In its continuous efforts to provide round-the-clock water supply and strengthen the water infrastructure of the capital, Water Minister and Delhi Jal Board Chairman Shri Satyendar Jain inaugurated the Underground Reservoir/Booster Pumping Station at Mayapuri with a capacity of 1.24 crore litres.
Currently, the areas of Mayapuri face a water crisis, which worsens during the summer. To address this issue, one Underground Reservoir/Booster Pumping Station has been established in the region. Booster Pumping Station is a device that increases low water pressure and flow by providing the extra boost needed to bring water pressure to the desired level. Thus, the water is enabled to move from a storage tank or throughout a whole house or commercial facility.
Water Minister Shri Satyendar Jain said, “This will be a magnificent step to augment the water pressure, which will help solve the existing water crisis in Delhi.” He further added that “On completion of this project, approximately 1.50 lakh residents residing in Hari Nagar and Delhi cantonment area will benefit. These subtle steps are part of a bigger and highly ambitious endeavour of ensuring 24*7 water supply across the capital by the Delhi Government, and we are evidently leaving no stone unturned to fulfil this commitment.’’
The work of the 1.24 crore liters capacity UGR in Mayapuri is fully complete, and its commissioning will lead to the augmentation of the water supply in Hari Nagar and Delhi Cantt. Constituencies. The introduction of this UGR will directly benefit approximately 1.50 lakh residents of Khazan Basti, Maya Enclave, M-Block, Hari Nagar, Part of Subhash Nagar, A-Block, Mayapuri Ph-I & II, etc. with the availability of water at an adequate pressure. The project cost includes 10 years of operations and maintenance.
Delhi Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal, is working tirelessly day and night to achieve its aim of cleaning the Yamuna and providing 24×7 water supply to all the residents of Delhi.
