This line supplies water to localities in old and new Gurugram. “We have installed an upgraded pipeline in Sector 16, keeping in view future needs. We had alerted residents about it, well ahead of the commencement of work before this exercise,” executive engineer of GMDA, Sandeep Dahiya said.
Besides, the pipelines connected to the Basai and Chandu Budhera treatment plants, having a capacity of 60 and 22 MGD, respectively, are also under maintenance. “The complaints pertaining to water supply in DLF City are true. These localities are far away from the Basai water treatment plant and water boosters are not properly working in the region,” a Haryana Urban Development Authority official said.
