Water supply in several parts of Gurugram is likely to be affected on Tuesday as the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) will undertake a scheduled four-hour shutdown of the Basai Water Treatment Plant (WTP) from 10am to 2pm to carry out routine electrical maintenance works.

GMDA officials said supply in residential sectors and colonies in Old Gurugram is likely to be more affected as treated water from the Basai plant is supplied predominantly to these areas.
“The maintenance activity is being carried out to ensure reliable and efficient operation of the water treatment plant. Water supply is expected to resume immediately after the completion of the scheduled works,” a GMDA spokesperson said, asking not to be named.
Areas likely to be affected include villages Basai, Kadipur, Sarhol, Chakarpur, Nathupur, Sikanderpur, Dundahera, Mandi, Garhi and Sukhrali; Sectors 5, 10A, 12, 14, 15 (Part I and II), 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 43, and parts of Sectors 45 and 46, besides Civil Lines, Hans Enclave, DLF Phases I to IV, Cyber City, Udyog Vihar Phases I to III, South City-I, Sushant Lok-I and MG Road.
GMDA advised residents to store adequate water in advance and use it judiciously during the shutdown period.
