Tomorrow morning, most areas will get piped supply, water minister Kapil Mishra said.
The water situation in Delhi showed a sign of improvement today as water was received from Haryana and treatment plants commenced operations following the Jat quota agitation which had hit the supply mechanism.
Delhi Water Minister Kapil Mishra, who visited Munak canal, which was damaged during the Jat stir in the neighbouring state, said most areas will get piped water supply by tomorrow morning.
He said 120 million gallons of water was received from Haryana as against the normal supply of 580 million gallons of raw water.
"Tomorrow morning, most areas will get piped supply. We received 120 MGD water from Haryana today. Supply will be limited until the canal is repaired. The government hopes the situation improves," he said in a series of tweets.
According to Delhi Jal Board (DJB), three water treatment plants at Wazirabad, Chandrawal and Okhla are operating partially after a drop in the ammonia level in the Wazirabad pond.
In west Delhi, water availability was much lower than the requirement because of the damage to the Carrier Lined Channel. Water has started to flow into the Delhi Sub-Branch and it is expected that by the late tonight, the canal will bring in 80 MGD of water as against a normal supply of 580 MGD.
Mr Mishra said the Bawana, Nangloi and Haiderpur plants are partially operational and morning supply will be restored in areas like Rohini and Paschim Vihar in west Delhi.
"More tankers will be diverted from these areas where we can provide piped supply to areas like Dwarka and parts of west Delhi," Mr Mishra tweeted.
Water supply has been severely hit in many parts of west, north, south-west, central and New Delhi areas after agitators damaged the Munak canal in Haryana.
