Wednesday’s power outage affects water supply in Pimpri-Chinchwad

Although the major power outage in Pune’s Pimpri-Chinchwad area Wednesday lasted for a little more than four hours, it managed to hit the regular water supply in the area as the pumping station failed to lift the required amount of water from the Pavana river at Ravet.

As a result, the residents of Pimpri-Chinchwad will have to make do with less quantity and a low pressure of water on Thursday and Friday. A major technical snag in the power transmission lines of the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited led to the power outage which hit Pune and its adjoining areas.
