To ensure responsible water management, the NMMC is implementing a new schedule that prioritizes morning water supply. Residents will continue to receive water supply seven days a week in the morning hours. However, due to the low dam level, evening water supply will now be provided for only four days a week.
A department-wise schedule has been created to ensure equitable distribution across different areas. The NMMC had previously implemented a similar strategy, supplying water seven days a week in the mornings and four evenings a week based on a departmental schedule, which received a positive response from residents who actively participated in water conservation efforts.
The revised plan aims to further manage water resources responsibly. Here's a breakdown of the new evening water supply schedule by area
