AJMER: There will be no water supply to the district from Bisalpur dam for 50 hours from December 17 as the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) would be undertaking repair of the pump house and pipelines.
The department has appealed to the residents to store enough water on December 16 to avoid scarcity.
Ajmer, Beawar, Kishangarh, Sarwar, Pushkar and surrounding villages including Pisanghan and Jawaja blocks get water from Bisalpur dam, but the department was facing breakdown of lines which affected supply to these areas. “We decided to shut down the supply on December 17 and 18 to repair the pump and lines,” said superintendent engineer of PHED C L Jatav.
The department also asked people to store water for three days on December 16 so that they will not face any scarcity.
Officials said the shout down will be enforced on the midnight of December 16. The next supply will probably resume on December 19.
