Emergency action plan
Coordination between the three departments of the municipality dealing with water supply from the Narmada project, the Yashwant Sagar reservoir and from tubewells will be improved. The responsibility of fixing leakages within 24 hours will rest with zonal assistant and sub-engineers. Public tubewells will be freed of encroachment and public taps installed on them. Some 50 private tubewells will be acquired. To prevent corruption daily reports of water supply to tanks will be presented to the commissioner. Two committees of corporators will monitor the filling of tankers and distribution of water. Water from the Narmada project will not be supplied for construction and washing cars. Vigilance inspectors will keep a lookout for water misuse offences. A 24-hour control room monitored by the commissioner will receive supply-related complaints. 100 disused wells and step-wells will be cleaned and used. Public awareness campaigns will be carried out.
