Hello
So I live in Janakpuri, New Delhi and recently the water has this sewer smell and has been tasting different. I called up Delhi Jal Board to complain.
So when they were laying these pipelines a few decades back, for some reason they decided it was a good idea to lay down a sewer line and a fresh water pipeline right next to each other. So every time the sewage line is full ( which happens every rainy season ), the fresh water gets contaminated. Now they are saying that there is a crack in the sewage pipeline which is about 25 ft. deep and it might take 6-8 months to be fixed, so the only thing that I can do as a consumer is fill up the bottles between 5:10 am and 7:10 am, and for the rest of the day, if there is any reserve we might get water supply otherwise it will be the sewer water that will be pumped. What can I do? Delhi Jal Board is useless and if they can't supply water apart from 2 hours for the entire day what should I do? They aren't ready to lay down any new pipelines.
I have switched to RO and ground water but my mother who lives on a separate floor still was using aqua guard with Delhi Jal Board water. Can I complain to any higher authority?
