Nagpur: If you’re experiencing low water pressure or no water supply in your area, you’re not alone. Nearly 90% of Nagpur has been affected after a major technical fault at the Mansar sub-station disrupted power supply to the Navegaon Raw Water Pumping Station on Friday.

The sudden outage brought raw water pumping operations to a standstill, triggering widespread disruptions across the city’s water treatment and distribution network.

What Caused the Water Crisis?

According to officials, the fault occurred at a Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) sub-station in Mansar, cutting power to the Navegaon pumping station.

The station pumps raw water from Navegaon Khairy Dam, the primary source that feeds the Gorewada and Godhani Water Treatment Plants. These plants, in turn, supply water through the city’s major Pench I, II, III and IV distribution networks.

With pumping operations halted, water treatment and supply across most parts of Nagpur were severely affected.

Water Supply Likely to Remain Affected Today

Authorities have warned that water supply disruptions may continue on Saturday until power is fully restored and pumping operations return to normal.

Residents may experience:

Low water pressure
Delayed water supply
Temporary water cuts in several areas

Municipal officials and MSEDCL engineers are working to restore the power supply and resume pumping operations at the earliest.
