The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has issued an advisory about a 12-hour water supply disruption on Friday, September 20, in various parts of Delhi due to repair works at Chandrawal Water Works. The outage will start at 11 am and is expected to affect several key areas.
According to the DJB, the disruption is necessary due to repairs on a leaking 500mm diameter Rising Main at Chandrawal Water Works, located within the premises of the Dr. Ambedkar National Memorial in Civil Lines. The advisory stated, "Potable water supply from Chandrawal Water Works will remain affected for 12 hours on 20.09.2024 from 11:00 AM onwards due to the shutdown of Chandrawal Water Works."
