Water through tankers shall not be supplied to affected areas during &after shutdown period.

Considering insufficient water storage at the Totladoh Dam and Navegaon-Khairy reservoir, more water is required to be lifted from the Kanhan river from its intake wells for the city, Nagpur Municipal Corporation and Orange City Water have decided to carry out some interconnections and changes on Kanhan Water Treatment Plant feeder lines.
