Power tripping at reservoir for 5 days, water supply hit

Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is yet to normalize drinking water supply in a few areas of the city after power tripping at the Navegaon Khairi reservoir over the past five days.

Private operator — Orange City Water Private Ltd (OCW) — is allegedly not responding to complaints and giving ‘excuses’ instead.

Former deputy mayor Satish Holey has alleged that it’s a major failure on the part of NMC and OCW.

“The NMC spent crores of rupees on the express feeder and claimed that there would be no problems in the power supply. Yet, there’s tripping happening at pumping stations.
