New Delhi, March 8 : The Delhi government on Monday said that it has so far covered up to 93% households across the national capital under pipeline water supply. The Kejriwal-led AAP government said this while presenting the economic survey for Delhi in the Assembly.
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia while reading out the economic survey for 2020-21 claimed that the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has managed the capacity to treat up to 916 MGD of water per day. However, the demand for water in the city has increased to around 1500-1600 MGD, especially in summer months. The capital is totally dependent on neighbouring states for raw water supply and it recycles raw water at 12 Water Treatment Plants (WTP) and supplies the treated water across the city.
