Sagar Watch News/ The city corporation is launching an important initiative to stop the wastage of drinking water in the city called the "Faucet Installation Campaign," led by Commissioner Mr. Rajkumar Khatri. On Thursday, Commissioner Mr. Khatri visited the narrow lanes of the Krishnagar ward and checked the faucets after observing a strong flow in the drains.
Those without faucets were educated about the importance of water, and the corporation's team installed faucets to prevent the wastage of drinking water.
He noted that seeing the drain water flowing onto the road in these narrow lanes indicates that the wastage of drinking water not only leads to water loss but also affects the cleanliness of the city.
By fixing faucet connections and various leaks in the city, the unnecessary flow of water will be stopped. This will prevent the roads from getting wet and accumulating dust and mud.
Our sanitation workers will be able to clean easily, and the cleaning of drains will also become easier. Under this campaign, faucets will be installed in areas of the city where there are none, and citizens will be made aware of water conservation.
Commissioner Mr. Khatri mentioned that due to the absence of faucets in many places, a large amount of water is wasted during the drinking water supply, and if measured, it could amount to several gallons.
This campaign will raise awareness among citizens and improve the monitoring by the corporation team, which will stop the accumulation of dirt on the roads and unnecessary wastage of water.
The commissioner appealed to citizens, stating that by installing faucets, we can not only save water but also contribute to keeping our city clean and beautiful. The cooperation of citizens in water conservation is essential for the success of this campaign.
The campaign to relocate dairies outside the city also continues. On Thursday, he inspected the Krishnanj Ward and instructed a dairy operator to move operations outside city limits. The operator’s water connection was disconnected, and officials were ordered to cut water supply to others who fail to relocate. Khatri emphasized that operating dairies within the city is strictly prohibited and relocation is essential for the city’s welfare.
He also clarified that if any area is found to be wasting water after a week, necessary action will be taken against the concerned individual. He urged citizens to ensure their connections are installed inside their homes and to turn off the faucet after filling water.
Saving every drop is essential for water conservation, and we can ensure sufficient availability of drinking water, a vital component of life, for our future generations.
Officials and employees from the city corporation and Tata Company were present during the campaign. Faucets were installed in the Krishnagar ward, and citizens were made aware of the importance of water and its conservation.
As per the commissioner's directives, a helpline number has been issued to stop water wastage. Following the instructions of Commissioner Mr. Rajkumar Khatri, helpline numbers have been issued by the officials of the city corporation and Tata for installing faucets and stopping water wastage in all wards. ]
