Print UDUPI: The Udupi City Municipal Council (CMC) has decided to restrict drinking water supply in 35 wards under its jurisdiction from Friday. These wards will get water only on alternate days henceforth.
The decision was taken in view of drinking water crisis reported from parts of the coastal city including Bailoor, Kodankoor, Gopalpura and Karamballi wards.
K Srikanth Rao, commissioner of Udupi CMC, said, "At present, water is supplied to all wards about six to eight hours a day. We have taken the decision so that the city will not run short of water in summer. If the catchment areas of the Baje dam receive good pre-monsoon rain, the CMC may withdraw the arrangement."
Level of water in the Baje dam is dipping with the onset of summer. The two ground-level reservoirs of the dam are getting filled irregularly because of frequent power cuts and this is affecting the pumping of water to the nine overhead tanks.
The supply to hilly areas is affected because of low pressure in water pipelines. Authorities cite increase in new water connections in the past three years as the reason for this. The city has about 23,000 water connections, of which nearly 6,000 were sanctioned in the past three years.
The water level in Baje Dam was at 4.95 meters on March 5. "There is no need for worry till it touches 2 meters. On May 20, 2013, it had come down to 2.2 meters," an official attached to the CMC said.
