Kalpana Pradhan, a teenage girl from Gudiatota Sahi, ward 49, reported via IVRS that the community has been facing a water supply issue for the past 2 days. This has made it very challenging for the residents to meet their water needs. As a result, 34 households have had to rely on a dug well, but even this water source is insufficient due to groundwater depletion. It was discovered that the main water pipeline supplying the area was broken at the entrance of the settlement, leading to significant water wastage. Despite the community's efforts to stop the leakage using tubes and cloths, the flow of water was too strong to be contained. The community members informed the authorities about the issue, leading to immediate action from the WATCO office to repair the damaged pipeline. However, the problem recurred, prompting the community to plan a meeting to address the ongoing water supply issue.
