54 unauthorised colonies added to the piped water supply network in the past 5 months.
Water supply and pressure in 60 other unauthorised colonies and villages have also been improved. DJB officials said this was made possible by increasing the production of treated water, rationalising supply with the help of new underground reservoirs and improving efficiency.
As per a DJB statement, the Delhi Government has given the go-ahead for laying pipelines in 237 new colonies. The DJB reached the peak treatment output of 878 million gallons per day (MGD) recently.
