New water supply schedule introduced for summer in Belagavi

Belagavi: With water resources dwindling ahead of peak summer, authorities have imposed a phased water supply schedule across Belagavi city from April to June. The decision was jointly taken by the Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development Finance Corporation (KUIDFC) and the Belagavi City Corporation (BCC).Under the revised arrangement, the interval between water supply cycles has been extended across all affected areas. Localities that earlier received water once every three days will now get a supply once in four days. Similarly, areas with a four-day cycle have been shifted to a five-day gap, while those on a five-day schedule will receive water once every six days. In addition, the duration of supply has been capped at around 45 minutes per cycle.Officials said water demand typically rises sharply during summer, placing considerable pressure on available sources. With water levels in key reservoirs — particularly the Rakaskop reservoir and Hidkal dam — declining rapidly, the authorities opted for a planned and equitable distribution system to ensure fair access across the city and minimise the impact of the shortage.The BCC has appealed to residents to use water judiciously and avoid wastage. Citizens have been advised to refrain from non-essential activities such as washing vehicles and watering gardens. They have also been urged to ensure safe storage, promptly fix leakages, and repair faulty taps.Officials clarified that the revised schedule will not apply to wards that receive continuous, round-the-clock water supply. With the next three months expected to test the city's water management systems, authorities stressed the need for collective responsibility to ensure sustainable usage.
