Recently on June 6 and 7 respectively, all WTP’s at Gorewada faced tripping’s from SNDL, on June 6, tripping of 20 minutes (from 18.15 hrs to 18.35 hrs) while on June 7 , a 10 minute tripping (from 18.30 hrs to 18.40 hrs).
Though the tripping period was only for 10 & 20 minutes but due to tripping, the water levels of ESR’s which were under supply at that period was reached its lowest levels and supply was badly affected in the following areas and its post effects remains on those areas whose supply period is after the tripping period i.e in evening hours after 6 pm.
Normally after a small tripping of even a 5 minutes and after restart of pumping to reach the required flow rate of water from the feeder main pipelines it will take more than two & half hours period after the pumping was restarted.
