PMC Proposes Demolition of Parvati Water Treatment Plant for AMRUT 2 Upgrade
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has proposed the demolition of its 54-year-old water treatment plant at Parvati, which serves as a crucial water source for most parts of the city. The decision is part of the city's commitment to improving water quality and accessibility for urban residents under the AMRUT 2 scheme, with an estimated project cost of ₹207.55 crore. While the construction of the new plant is anticipated, it will commence after PMC has made all necessary preparations for the smooth transition from the old facility to the new one. Aniruddha Pawaskar, the head of PMC's water department, highlighted the urgent need for this upgrade, citing the deteriorating condition of the current plant's machinery, which operates around the clock and poses challenges for repair work.
