• Individual issue of a household resolved swiftly: Spokesman

SRINAGAR: The Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) has rebutted the reports of water quality issues at Firdousabad, Batmaloo, brought in notice by some social media platforms. According to a spokesman of SMC,after conducting thorough investigation, it was revealed that the drinking water supplied to Firdousabad is sourced from the 10MGD Sukhnag Water Treatment Plant (WTP) where it undergoes rigorous purification and chlorination processes to ensure its safety. Further, water quality is checked through daily laboratory testing and consumer endpoint sampling, both of which confirm that the water remains free from contamination.

The spokesman said the concern raised was traced back to a leakage in a private PPC line to individual household which was promptly addressed and the line was repaired and replaced to restore the water supply of appropriate quality. Following repairs, subsequent water quality tests have been conducted in the neighborhood which confirmed that the drinking water is now safe for consumption.

The Srinagar Municipal Corporation is dedicated to providing clean, safe, and reliable drinking water to all residents, the spokesman said adding the SMC encourages the community to remain vigilant and report any water quality concerns promptly for swift action and resolution.
