The residents living in Gunadala area of the city have been facing problems related to the supply of drinking water for the last four days. They complain that the water supply from the Krishna river to many colonies have been disrupted, while the officials say that the situation may continue for a few days more as the water level in the Prakasam Barrage has fallen drastically.
“We have not been getting the tap water even once a day since January 17,” says Vijaya Mary, a resident of Gunadala.
The officials are supplying drinking water through tankers, but the residents complain that it is not adequate. “Waiting for water tanker has become a daily routine for us. After waiting in the queue for our turn, we are getting three to four bucketfuls at best,” says Ratnam, another resident of Gunadala.
