Nagpur News : Power breakdowns, excessive tripping’s at Orange City Water’s (OCW) Kanhan Water Treatment Plant (WTP) by state power Distribution Company MSEDCL, is once again depriving citizens of North, East and parts of South Nagpur of precious potable water supply.
On May 6 & 7, due to almost 12 times frequent and extended power failure from MSEDCL side there were interruptions in pumping from Kanhan WTP to East and North Nagpur. This resulted in very less water levels in the ESR’s and very little water pressure in direct tapping supply areas.
