"Haryana has started releasing water. Production likely to be normal by tomorrow morning and distribution by tomorrow evening. We are constantly monitoring situation," Kejriwal tweeted.
Delhi Jal Board (DJB) CEO Keshav Chandra expressed hope that production at the treatment plants -- Wazirabad and Chandrawal -- will "stabilise" by tomorrow and supply will gradually improve.
"Water distribution will take one more day to normalise. Hopefully by tonight Wazirabad pond level would be restored and production will stabilise from tomorrow. Distribution will take one more day to normalise because after production all the underground reservoirs and all the lines are to be filled up," Chandra told PTI.
Under the circumstances, certain areas that come under the distribution network of these plants remained affected through the day.
