Salt Lake: All 15 water tanks under major upgrade
Salt Lake’s 15 overhead reservoirs are undergoing a full overhaul for the first time since the township was built. The civic body is strengthening structures, repairing systems, and replacing old equipment to improve supply.
Structural and mechanical repairs in full swing
The project includes retrofitting, electro-mechanical upgrades, and replacement of ageing machinery. Earlier, only minor repairs were done individually.
Tanks cater to over 26,000 households daily
The reservoirs supply filtered water in multiple shifts across the township. With population rising, the old system needed a comprehensive upgrade.
Frequent technical faults triggered overhaul
Years of wear and recurring glitches in pumps and equipment pushed the civic body to launch a township-wide repair programme.
Surroundings also being upgraded
Drainage lines, pathways, lighting, and boundary walls around the reservoirs are being rebuilt as part of the revamp.
New high-capacity pumps installed
Fresh 45KW and 38KW pumps, along with new valves and gauges, are being added to boost distribution strength and improve reliability.
Project aims to stabilize supply for years ahead
Officials say the overhaul will create a safer, stronger water system capable of handling future demand and reducing breakdowns.
