CHANDIGARH: The additional supply from Phases V and VI of the Kajauli waterworks has reached the city and residents will get its filtered version by month-end.
By last week, even Panchkula will start receiving its share of 3 million gallons a day but Chandimandir will have to wait until it deposits Rs 50 crore with the Chandigarh municipal corporation for laying a new pipeline from the Bhakra canal. Chandimandir’s water will remain with Chandigarh until the payment.
A senior MC officer said: “The agreement gives even Mohali a 5 MGD share in the 40 MGD extra water supply. Chandimandir can draw 3 MGD and Chandigarh 29 MGD. Mohali is getting its portion already though a separate line, while the supply to Panchkula and Chandimandir is pending. The pipeline to Panchkula is laid, while Chandimandir has failed to pay us despite deliberation and written communication.”
The MC engineering department will supply raw extra water to Panchkula, since it has own treatment plant. Panchkula serves its water consumers with the help of 198 tube-wells. The extra 3 MGD will be canal water. Chandigarh has started receiving additional supply and channelling it to the treatment plant. If things go as planned, the water will reach the taps by the last week of September or the first week of October.
In August, the public health department of Mohali had claimed to have detected diversion of 2 million gallons a day (MGD) of its water share to Chandigarh from Kajauli and blamed it on tampering done at Chandigarh's Sector 39, where sluice valves connecting phases II and III were found opened. The engineering department of the municipal corporation has built this plant with a treatment capacity of 15 million gallons a day (MGD) and the entire water of Kajauli's Phases V and VI reaches there. Chandigarh receives 80 MGD water against a demand of 115 to 120 MGD.
