Pune's Mayor Manjusha Nagpure has announced that there will be no water cuts in the city until May 31, providing relief to residents facing high temperatures. This directive follows a review of the water situation, where the mayor emphasized the need for a smooth and uninterrupted water supply from the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). In light of forecasts from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicting lower rainfall this year, the PMC has implemented various measures, including enhanced chlorination processes at water treatment plants and the completion of maintenance work across all 17 facilities. The city sources its water from several dams, including Panshet and Varasgaon, and the current water levels are being monitored closely. Additionally, infrastructure improvements are underway under the 'Equal Water Supply Scheme,' which aims to enhance water treatment and distribution capabilities in both the older city limits and newly merged villages. To further improve management, the PMC plans to adopt modern technologies such as AI-based leak detection and mobile application monitoring.
