A month-long nightmare for residents of Pagrav society and Patkar-Varde College is most likely to end this weekend. Soon after mid-day reported about the problem of the Goregaon residents receiving black, stinking water in their taps, the BMC got down to fixing it. The hydraulics department has started work on repairing the faulty pipe and residents will receive potable water by Saturday morning, said officials from the BMC.

Civic sources revealed that the new municipal commissioner, Pravin Pardeshi, had taken cognisance of the plight of the residents and directed the water department to work on resolving the issue immediately.
