Officials have clarified that the cleaning is a standard procedure. It is part of their regular efforts to maintain water quality and prevent any potential contamination in the supply system. While the work happens during the day, the impact on water pressure and availability is expected to be felt by residents in the evening.

Official Advice for Residents
To minimise inconvenience, the Jalkal Department has issued a clear advisory to the public.

This stored water should help them manage their evening requirements without hassle.
