Karve Nagar high-rise residents flag low pressure on upper floors — common in summer load months.
Data-backed. Budget-checked. Steps named by department. The corporator's office decides — Sushaasan just does the groundwork.
10 reports this week from Karve Nagar high-rise residents indicate low water pressure on upper floors, with an average severity of 3/5, consistent with seasonal demand spikes during summer load months. The corporator can address this through pressure audit, booster pump inspection, and targeted infrastructure intervention to restore adequate supply to affected upper floors.
Lodge a formal written complaint with PMC Water Supply Department referencing the 10 resident reports from Karve Nagar high-rises, and request an urgent pressure audit at the ward's main distribution line and overhead tank serving Ward 35 location 35.
Depute a PMC hydraulic engineer to physically inspect existing booster pump stations and overhead storage tanks serving the Karve Nagar high-rise cluster — measure live pressure readings at ground floor vs upper floor outlets and document findings.
Based on audit findings, carry out repair or recalibration of existing booster pumps; if pumps are undersized for summer peak load, procure and install a supplementary booster pump unit rated for the high-rise cluster's demand.
Schedule an off-peak night-hour flushing and pressure-testing of the distribution mains feeding Karve Nagar high-rises to clear sediment buildup that may be restricting flow during high-demand summer months.
Conduct a follow-up resident feedback round via ward office to confirm pressure improvement on upper floors post-intervention; share outcome report with PMC Water Supply Department for record and future summer preparedness planning.
