[Resolved]  DDA Water Supply — Supply of water

Sir,
With due respect I am to say that I am a resident of FLAT NO. 248, DDA SFS FLATS, SECTOR-1, POCKET-1, DWARKA, NEW DELHI-110075 and to say that the water supply from DDA is neither sufficient nor in good quality to use for fulfilling the daily needs of the residents. In this regard, DDA office at Madhu Vihar, Delhi has been requested several times to provide sufficient water to this pocket.
In this regard, it is informed that due to water shortage, residents of the RWA of this pocket are mixing hard water from submersible pumps into main water tank which make the water most horrible to drink, cook food etc. . This hard water is for only plants in the garden and not for the use of the people. It is also informed that on earlier occasions also the ground water is being mixed due to which my husband suffered from severe jaundice in the month of February, 2009. Apart from the threat of water borne diseases, the use of ground water is also not allowed as the water table in this area is already very low and it is an illegal act of the residents who are mixing ground water in drinkable water. I tried to motivate the people to use only the water supplied by DDA which is consumable in household uses and also requested them to try to limit their requirement of water as well as not to waste water. Some of the residents threatened me and influenced the President of Resident Welfare Association and they have now started mixing ground water in the main water tank, which is being supplied to the entire pocket. The ground water is damaging the pipelines as well as all the appliances being used by us. The ground water will damage the entire infrastructure.
Therefore, I request your kind self to kindly look into the matter urgently and supply me the drinkable water by which I can meet my daily requirements of water and also the use of ground water may be stopped and our lives may be saved from several water borne diseases as our property may also be saved.
Thanking you.
