Over 3,000 families in Bagbera locality of the city are going without water since Monday evening as utility company Jusco snapped its power connection to a pump-house in Bistupur from where drinking water is supplied.
Since Monday evening, over 3,000 households have been left high and dry.
Drinking water to Bagbera Colony and adjoining areas is supplied by the state department of drinking water and sanitation. Jusco snapped its power connection as it owes around Rs 31 lakh from the state department.
Executive engineer (mechanical) of the department Sunita Samant confirmed that Jusco, a wholly owned Tata subsidiary, snapped its power connection. “Outstanding power dues are from 2016,” the executive engineer said.
