Delhi Jal Board today announced commissioning of 5.8 MLD underground reservoir and booster pumping station at Narela, which will improve water supply to the residents of Khampur, Bakoli, Hamidpur, Singhu, Singhola and colonies adjoining these villages.
"DJB has commissioned its newly constructed 5.8 million litres (ML) capacity underground reservoir and booster pumping station at Narela... This has been possible because of commissioning of Bawana Water Treatment Plant, recently. The project has been completed at a cost of Rs 26 crore," DJB said in a statement.
The commissioning of the underground reservoir has benefited about 1.15 lakh people living in the villages of Khampur, Bakoli, Hamidpur, Singhu Singhola and colonies adjoining these villages.
With the commissioning of the plant, the residents of the areas have started getting water at enhanced pressure.
"DJB staff has worked overnight to ensure that the underground reservoir is commissioned quickly so that people of the area get benefit in current summer season. Earlier, water was supplied in the area through tubewells," a DJB official said.
The pressure used to be low and supply limited. With the new facility, there has been tremendous improvement in water pressure and availability in the area.
