Residents are irked over irregular water supply and non-availability of potable water for domestic use in their area.

Those not having alternative water supply arrangements and storage tanks were among the worst-affected due to the shortage. Many people were seen fetching water from their neighbours having submersibles pumps.

Vikas Tandon, president, Municipal Council, said the problem arose due to break down in disposal system and efforts are being made to restore normal supply of water. He said officials concerned in the civic body had been advised to ensure that residents get adequate supply of water at least during mornings and evenings.

The residents have urged the authorities at the Municipal Council to revamp the water supply system at the earliest.

“While the officials had to reduce the supply of water to minimise overflowing of sewerage in certain low-lying areas of the town and allow rectification of equipment at the sewerage disposal tank, we have advised officials to ensure that residents of all localities receive adequate supply of water required for normal chores,” said Tandon.

The executive officer of the Ahmedgarh Municipal Council had alerted on Tuesday that water supply would remain closed on Wednesday due to break down in the sewage disposal tank.
