The BMC, after receiving constant complaints of irregular water supply in slum and hilly areas, has started a total station survey at Chita camp in Govandi. The survey, which will cost Rs 1.35 crore, will help in better planning of pipelines and water pressure.

Though the supply is based on the population of each area, many parts complain of uneven distribution, owing various reasons like hilly area, end of network line, low pressure. The BMC’s hydraulic department plans to address these issues through the survey.
