Agra. The main source of potable water to the entire city is facing the problem of administrative negligence. There is lack of maintenance and renovation. Yes, we are talking about city's well known department-Agra Jal Sansthan (Water Works).
Local administration is not paying attention towards the maintenance of the Agra Jal Sansthan (Water Works). After looking into the entire department, DLA am found that the premises of the Water Works has been dumped with garbage, dry water treatment plants, open electric boards, stinking water outlets, eroded pumps etc.
The wire providing power supply from the OCB machine (440 volt) to the main pump was open and temporary covered with adhesive tapes which is fatal for the employees of the department. These connection points should be covered with a tin-cover or wooden box to avoid fatalities. This OCB machine supplies power to the main pump for distribution of potable water to the major of the city. There are two major pumps at two sides of the Water Works. The condition was the same in both the pumps. OCB machine at both the ends are in the same condition. The transformers base box is also hazardous.
There is a small outlet filled with stinking and polluted water, which is leaking in the fresh water supply, informed a employee of the department (on anonymity). Anyone can imagine that what type of fresh water is supplied in the city.
A section of Geomiller Rapid Filter Plant (GRFP) was defunct. Similarly, water treatment plant was also dry and the department is using it as a garbage dump. The pump and there valves are also eroded in the laboratory. The window panel of the buildings are broken. Bird droppings in the potable water supplied from the main supply pump. These birds enter the building through the broken window panel. The condition of the department makes mockery to the water supply system. It also tells the real story of the precaution taken by the Water Works. Despite several attempts officers could not be contacted to comment on the issue.
