Residents in several parts of Vadodara's Manjalpur area should prepare for a temporary water supply disruption this week. The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) has announced essential maintenance work that will affect the water distribution network.
Scheduled Maintenance Work by VMC
The civic body will undertake a comprehensive cleaning operation of the water storage infrastructure in Manjalpur. The work is scheduled for Friday and involves cleaning both the sump and the overhead water tank that serves the locality. This preventive maintenance is crucial for ensuring water quality and system efficiency.
Impact on Water Supply Timings
The cleaning process will commence after the regular water supply cycle on Friday. Consequently, water supply will be suspended on Friday evening for all areas that fall under the command zone of the Manjalpur water tank. The VMC has outlined a restoration timeline for residents.
Water supply will not be available during the evening hours on Friday. The corporation has advised residents to store sufficient water in advance to meet their needs during this period.
Gradual Restoration of Services
Normal services will not resume immediately after the work is completed. Water supply will begin to be restored gradually from Saturday morning. However, residents should note that the initial supply may be at low pressure as the system stabilizes.
Regular water supply pressure and timing are expected to be fully restored by Saturday evening, provided the cleaning work concludes as planned. The VMC often conducts such maintenance drives to prevent silt accumulation and ensure hygienic water delivery to households.
Areas dependent on the Manjalpur tank should plan their water usage accordingly. The temporary inconvenience is aimed at long-term benefits for the water supply system's hygiene and reliability.
