Dombivli residents grapple with ongoing water shortages while thousands of liters are being wasted through pipeline leakages, drawing attention to gaps in the administration's efforts. A major pipeline burst on Kalyan-Shil Road sent water spraying for nearly four to five hours after a leak, raising concerns about monitoring and response times.
The MIDC office restored control of the flow by 9 am, but the delay has fueled questions about the effectiveness of water infrastructure oversight. Dombivli MIDC and surrounding rural regions have repeatedly complained about insufficient water supply, yet water loss through damaged pipes and unauthorized connections continues to be a concern.
Critics argue that the administration lacks a robust system for detecting and addressing leakages, leading to wastage. Residents are pressing for CCTV surveillance along critical pipelines and increased security to curb tampering and unauthorized connections. Authorities previously considered such measures, but residents demand immediate action to prevent recurring incidents and ensure a reliable water supply.
