Kolkata: Water supply affected after pump breakdown in Salt Lake Sector I

KOLKATA: A pump at water tank No. 3 crashed early on Wednesday, creating problems in supply in some areas of Salt Lake Sector I, comprising BMC wards 40 and 41. Last week, Salt Lake Sector II faces similar issues after a leakage occurred in the pipeline of tank No. 5 booster pumping station.

“One of the main pumps of the tank stopped working. We continued water supply operations by bringing in two standby pumps. However, there were some disruptions in supply at few places. Repair work is expected to be completed by Thursday,” said a BMC water supply department official.
