Guwahati: The Guwahati Metropolitan Drinking Water & Sewarage Board (GMDW&SB) has announced a temporary suspension of water supply across the city to facilitate a robotic survey of the ‘clear water pumping main pipeline’.
The disruption will take place in three phases, starting from February 12 to 15, followed by February 19 to 22, and finally from February 25 to 28.
This survey will identify weak welding points and potential leakages in the city’s water distribution system. The goal is to improve the water distribution system’s long-term efficiency and reliability.
During this period, advanced robotic technology will be used to detect and rectify pipeline flaws, preventing future technical failures and improving the overall efficiency of Guwahati’s water supply network.
The Guwahati Jal Board has assured residents that the maintenance work is essential for better water service. The Board has apologized for the inconvenience caused and urged residents to cooperate.
It has also advised the residents to store adequate water in advance to meet their daily needs during the suspension period.
