Viman Nagar in Pune is facing a big water problem as the PMC (Pune Municipal Corporation) is only giving water for about 90 minutes every day. Because of this, many housing societies are forced to buy water from private tankers. People are finding it very hard to get enough water for their daily needs like cooking, washing, and bathing.
The short water supply time is making it difficult for housing societies to store enough water. Even though people are trying to save water, it’s not helping much because the water supply is too less and comes at different times each day. Many families now have to spend extra money to get water from private tankers just to meet their basic needs.
The quality of PMC water has also become a big worry. Many people are now using borewell water and private tankers as their main source of water. Some housing societies need up to 10 water tankers every day, which shows how serious the problem has become. People are depending more and more on private water suppliers.
Housing societies are spending a lot of money on water tankers. The tanker services aren’t very reliable – they often come late or don’t follow proper schedules. This makes life difficult for people who’ve to plan their whole day according to when water will be available.
This water problem is happening because Viman Nagar has grown very fast, with many new buildings and more people moving in. The old water supply system can’t handle so many people’s needs. PMC isn’t able to give enough water with good pressure, so people have no choice but to depend on private water tankers.
The PMC needs to take quick action to solve this water problem. While water tankers are helping right now, this isn’t a good long-term solution. The government needs to find better ways to supply water to everyone in Viman Nagar. They need to make plans that will work not just now but also in the future when more people move to this area.
The situation has become so concerning that Pune local news outlets are constantly reporting on the growing water crisis in various parts of the city.
