Supertech Ecovillage 2 Residents Report Erratic Water Supply in Greater Noida West
Residents of Supertech Ecovillage 2 have reported recurring water supply disruptions for about a month, raising concerns over daily household needs, tanker arrangements and access for senior citizens.
- Residents allege that water supply frequently stops and varies between towers.
- The society’s estate manager attributed recent disruptions to a shortage in supply from the Greater Noida Authority.
- The Authority said it had not received complaints but would look into possible distribution issues.
Greater Noida: Residents of Supertech Ecovillage 2 in Greater Noida West have raised concerns over an irregular water supply, with disruptions reportedly continuing for around a month. Residents said the problem affects different towers at different times, leaving some households without water for several hours and making routine activities difficult.
Established in 2016, the residential society comprises 35 towers and approximately 4,000 flats, with an estimated population of more than 7,000 people. Residents said the recurring interruptions have created difficulties with essential household activities, particularly on days when the supply remains unavailable for extended periods.
B Mahanti, a resident, said the situation had become increasingly difficult to manage. Recalling a recent disruption, he said the water supply remained unavailable from the afternoon until late at night on Monday. He added that the availability of water varies from day to day, making it difficult for residents to plan their daily requirements.
Apart from the inconsistent supply, residents have also questioned the arrangements made when water becomes unavailable. They said tankers are sometimes stationed in common areas of the society, requiring residents to come downstairs to collect water.
Shashi Bhushan, another resident, highlighted the difficulties faced by elderly people who may find it challenging to carry water from the collection points to their homes. Residents believe that a more convenient arrangement is needed to ensure that essential water requirements are met during supply interruptions.
The complaints have brought attention to the need for a reliable backup system in large residential complexes, where thousands of residents depend on a consistent supply for drinking, cooking, cleaning and sanitation.
Azeem Khan, the society’s estate manager, said the latest disruptions were linked to a shortage in water supply from the Greater Noida Authority over the preceding two to three days. He acknowledged that some towers had experienced supply problems, although he described the situation as a recent issue rather than a prolonged, continuous shortage.
According to Khan, some towers experienced disruptions on Thursday, while two other towers were facing issues on the day of his statement. He expressed confidence that the situation would be resolved by the following day.
Khan also said residents could collect water from tankers stationed within the society. The tankers were being used to replenish the complex’s underground water reservoirs as well.
Rajeev Kumar, senior manager in the Greater Noida Authority’s water department, said the department had not received any reports of a supply-related problem from the society.
He indicated that the issue could be related to water distribution within the complex rather than the Authority’s supply network. Kumar said the matter would be examined to determine the cause of the disruption.
The difference between the residents’ complaints and the Authority’s account leaves the precise cause of the problem unclear. Further examination of the external supply and the society’s internal distribution network may help establish where the disruption is occurring.
The latest complaints follow a similar incident reported in June at Supertech Ecovillage 3 in Greater Noida West. Around 2,000 families there reportedly struggled with a severe water shortage for nearly a week.
Residents of Ecovillage 3 had also raised concerns about inconsistent supply and muddy water. The earlier incident highlights the importance of maintaining reliable water infrastructure and addressing distribution problems in densely populated residential societies.
Residents of Supertech Ecovillage 2 will be looking for a consistent restoration of water supply across all affected towers. The society’s management may need to coordinate with the Greater Noida Authority to establish whether the problem originates in the external supply network, internal distribution pipelines or underground storage arrangements.
The Authority’s proposed examination could help clarify the cause and identify the corrective measures required. Until the issue is resolved, residents may continue to depend on tanker arrangements to meet their daily water needs.
