Pune, 18 November 2025: Water supply to most parts of Pune will remain shut on Thursday, November 20, due to major maintenance and connection work on the main pipeline between Khadakwasla Dam and the Parvati Water Treatment Plant.
Officials from the Water Supply Department said that the supply is expected to restart late on Friday, November 21, but only with low pressure.
The city receives water through a 3,000 mm diameter main pipeline from Khadakwasla Dam to the Parvati treatment centre. Two 1,400 mm pipelines will be connected to this main line, and flow meters will also be installed as part of the upgrade. Due to this work, a complete shutdown of the water supply has been planned.
Only areas that receive water via the Bhama Askhed project, mainly along Nagar Road, will continue to get regular supply on Thursday. All other parts of the city will face a full-day shutdown, the department clarified.
Water Supply Department head Nandkishor Jagtap stated that the shutdown is necessary to safely complete the connection and installation work.
The affected regions include the Parvati ML/HL/LLR tanks, Vadgaon treatment plant, Rajiv Gandhi pumping station, Lashkar water works, Chikhali water station, Warje water works, Chandni Chowk tank, Gandhi Bhavan tank, Pancar Club GSR tank, SNDT LLR and MLR tanks, Chatushrungi tank, Holkar water station, Khadakwasla jackwell, Warje Phase 1 and 2, Ganpati Matha, Old Warje waterworks, and newly added villages with booster systems.
