Delhi: Water supply will be hit in several areas of Delhi including Kamla Nagar, Karol Bagh and Civil lines among others on December 26, Tuesday, as the water production has been curtailed in Wazirabad and Chandrawal plants by the Delhi Jal Board. 

Due to the high level of pollutants in the Yamuna river at the Wazirabad pond, water production has been curtailed by 25-30 per cent in treatment plants at Wazirabad and Chandrawal, the Delhi Jal Board informed. 

"Due to high level of pollutants (Ammonia more than 2.3 ppm) being received in River Yamuna at Wazirabad pond, water production has been curtailed 25-30 per cent from Water Treatment Plants of Wazirabad and Chandrawal," a DJB notice said.

Water supply will therefore be available at low pressure in several areas of Delhi from the evening of December 25 till the situation improves, the Delhi Jal Board said.
