GUWAHATI: The Guwahati Metropolitan Drinking Water & Sewerage Board (GMDW&SB) has announced a temporary suspension of water supply across Guwahati, Assam, to conduct a robotic survey of the ‘clear water pumping main pipeline.’
This survey is intended to detect and address pipeline weaknesses, ensuring a more reliable water supply system. The disruption will take place in three phases: February 12–15, February 19–22, and February 25–28.
Advanced robotic technology will be deployed to identify and fix pipeline issues, enhancing the efficiency of Guwahati’s water supply network and preventing future failures. The Guwahati Jal Board has apologized for the inconvenience and requested residents to cooperate. Citizens are advised to store sufficient water in advance for their daily needs during the suspension.
For queries, residents can reach the Guwahati Jal Board at 6003920846 or 6002478266. The board has assured that any schedule changes will be communicated promptly.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, residents of several areas in Guwahati had faced a temporary disruption in the water supply on February 1 due to leakage rectification work at Pub Sarania Bye Lane 6. The areas that had been affected included Rajgarh Bye Lane 3, Pub Sarania Bye Lane 6, Ganesh Mandir Path, Gandhibasti, Islampur, and nearby localities.
According to officials, the repair work had been expected to be completed by February 2, after which the water supply had been restored. Consumers had been advised to store sufficient water in advance. Authorities had expressed regret for the inconvenience caused.
