Water Supply Disruptions in Gurugram Due to Pipeline Damage and Repairs Underway
Parts of Gurugram, including DLF Phases 1 and 2 and sectors 46 to 76, are experiencing water supply disruptions due to damage to a major GMDA pipeline. The issue began with a tripping and a significant leak at the Basai Water Treatment Plant, compounded by excavation work near Baani Square that damaged the pipeline. Residents report low water pressure, rationing, reliance on costly private tankers, and concerns over delayed repairs. GMDA has urged water conservation and is working on repairs without specifying a timeline.
