Residents of Mandaveli and this neighborhood zone say that though the disrupted water supply via pipeline served by Metrowater has now resumed the water seems to bear a strong smell of chemicals and so they are not sure if this water is fit for drinking.
Supply was disrupted from 4 Dec till 28 Dec 2015 because of a broken pipeline.
Shankar, a resident of Norton 2nd Street, Mandaveli says ” There is no proper response form Metrowater. This chemical smell makes the water completely unusable as the stench lingers
on in one’s body and utensils that are washed with it.”
An update: I got the phone number of the concerned Metro Water AE. I spoke to him and he lent a patient hearing to my complaint and promised to look into it on 6 Jan 2016.
Hoping that this will get resolved once it is looked into.
