BARDEZ: A minor leak in a key water pipeline at Colvale has escalated into a serious problem, forcing authorities to shut down supply and impacting large parts of Bardez over the next two days.
The affected pipeline is a 1,000 mm main line near a canal crossing in Colvale. What started as a small leak quickly worsened, prompting the Department of Drinking Water (DDW) to initiate urgent repair work.
Executive Engineer officials confirmed that repair work is ongoing. Water supply will be suspended on April 3 and will gradually resume by late April 4 after completion of the repairs. Immediate action was deemed necessary to prevent further damage and avoid a prolonged disruption.
Areas affected include Mapusa, Calangute, Candolim, Guirim, Nerul, Reis Magos, Saligao, Sodiem, Marna, Oxel, Revora, Nadora, Tivim, Camurlim, Colvale, Moira, Bastora, Bhutkiwado, Aaradi, Vaddem, and Carrem.
Residents have been advised to conserve water and make necessary arrangements until normal supply is restored.
