Pune Municipal Corporation to Develop 25-Year Water Treatment Infrastructure Plan
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has been directed to develop a 25-year integrated master plan to modernise the city's water treatment infrastructure and address growing demand. This follows concerns over ageing machinery at the Parvati Water Treatment Plant causing turbid water complaints. The plan prioritises upgrading the Parvati and Lashkar plants, with an 810 crore proposal submitted for a new Lashkar facility. Officials aim to expedite modernisation and complete the new plant within the set timeline to ensure reliable, safe drinking water.
