Delhi Jal Board (DJB) vice chairman Raghav Chadha on Sunday inaugurated a water pipeline in the Main Inderpuri area of Rajender Nagar and assured locals that they will not face any problems in supply of water.
Chadha said a damaged water supply line in the Inderpuri EA-EG Block has been replaced with a new one. “The damaged pipeline was causing difficulties for residents and Chadha directed officials to replace it as soon he came to know about it, the DJB said in a statement.
The vice chairman also said that the DJB cannot afford to have damaged water lines and every area must have regular supply of water. "It is unfortunate that residents of EA-EG Block, Inderpuri had to face an avoidable issue. I am pleased the DJB engineers worked relentlessly to sort out this issue," he said.
"Under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, every locality that falls within the ambit of Delhi shall have a regular supply of water. Every constituency should have a functional and regular supply of water to meet respective purposes," he said.
The Vice Chairman mentioned how DJB strives to provide safe and adequate drinking water supply to Delhi residents and collect and treat generated sewage to the permissible standards before disposal or reuse.
"DJB follows a multi-dimensional approach in terms of perspective planning and project implementation with respect to the water and sewerage sector. Being one of the largest water utilities in the country, it's always a daunting task to juxtapose smooth functioning with provision of potable water to consumers," he said.
DJB has nine water treatment laboratories and eight sewage testing laboratories set up with adequate facilities and manned by qualified persons for inspection and evaluating the raw sewage and final effluent.
