Drinking water supply in the city will be partially affected from tomorrow due low water levels in Bisalpur dam, an official said.
Scanty rainfall this year has reduced the rain water inflow into the Bisalpur dam, additional chief engineer of public health and engineering department (PHED) Dinesh Saini said today.
Given the negligible inflow of water, drinking water supply in the city will be reduced from tomorrow, he said.
So far, the PHED supplied drinking water for one to one-and-a-half hour daily to the city. Now it will be supplied for 45 to 70 minutes, Saini added.
The Bisalpur dam, which is Jaipur's lifeline, supplies 44 crore litres of drinking water daily. From tomorrow, the supply will be reduced to 35 crore litres.
Saini said 7 crore litres of water supplied through tubewells will remain unaffected.
