Re: Re:[Jal Vayu Vihar]RE-SCHEDULING OF TIMING AND QUANTITY OF WATER SUPPLY

[Wg Cdr Thomas Walker]

For Jal Vayu Vihar Apartments with the peculiar Water Problems such as "Though for all these years Sector A & B have the First Release of water with highest Pressure for about half an hour before the Sectors C & D start getting their share of Water and still the Water Scarcity persists" can only be solved with a DEVICE to be installed at the Main Water Inlet of each Apartment which will let in Only 1000 Liters per 24 hours and if this Limit is reached will SHUT DOWN automatically !

 

If such a Device does not exist it needs to be designed/invented !!

We keep reading that the next war between nations [and in our country - between the stares] is going to be due to WATER. In JVV water supply is the major cause of bitterness and heart burning.  For those who live in 'elevated' flats like in sector A, the elevation has pushed us to the bottom rung when it comes to water supply.But there are many 'lords and ladies' who waste water. Count the number of 'always kept open' water taps on the supply line to water their 'private' gardens,then you will understand what I mean. Will the people in the 'elevated' positions of BOM lend a helping hand to ease the position? In my flat A-23, there is not a drop. What an irony, our colony is called JAL vayu Vihar?? - Wg Cdr JP On 6 February 2012 19:47, Air Mshl Narayan Menon <nana_...@yahoo.co.in> wrote: If the objective of the revised water supply timing is being met, then I have no complaint. Everyone in the colony should get water regularly. If the objective has not been met, then perhaps reversion to the earlier timings is warranted. BOM may kindly look into this. N Menon PS(in a lighter vein) No need to follow what was once a British Airways motto: " We are not happy till you are not happy!" Further to my mail, I waited for water to be supplied for more than an hour because water was NOT supplied as earlier mentioned at 3PM. I went again to check position. I was told by the Electrician (as I could not see any Plumber) that water is first being supplied to A and B Sectors now and later it will be supplied to C and D Sectors. I waited till 1630 hrs with no sign of water coming. At last, water came in trickle at about 1635. It stopped coming at 1645, hardly supplying about 150 litres. We have to manage our requirements for the day within this availability just like in the past few weeks.  I cannot understand the "equitable distribution" of water to all residents being attempted with these experiments and changes. Averaging total supply by number of flats is not ensuring equitable distribution. During this surplus season, the actual state of affairs is dismal. I cannot imagine what is going to be our plight during the lean season. We try to adjust our daily chores by curtailing washing of clothes, washing of utensils,swabbing floors, conserving water in Bath rooms,dispensing away potted plants etc. But I am afraid to say that the response from people in return who are managing this complex problem is not satisfactory. As regards to supply, every block in D Sector cannot be treated as same as the ground level tanks are at various levels. There had to be some transparency and open mind to solve such problems.We are just informed about the final decisions taken by "experts" but not the process tried out and changes/ modifications made and the logic to provide equitable distribution. I do not think that we are going to succeed in this sort of experimentation. Please engage an outside Technical consultant with considerable experience on Water Distribution to study this problem and suggest a feasible plan and costs. Many of our "experts" have tried but miserably failed, only causing bitterness and bad feelings among residents. I hope that Cmde Franklin personally looks at this problem at highest priority because the lean season is fast approaching. At our old age, we do not  need another problem of survival without adequate water. S.Murugan. On 6 February 2012 15:46, Murugan Subbiah <sm53...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Harry, Don't be despondent. You have company. I found my GLT empty in evening of Saturday. I assumed that there might be some water in the top tank. I heard, on waking up from sleep, my Pump/motor of Automatic water level controller running continuously at about 2AM. Obviously the level at the top tank was below the minimum (200 litres) as the pump had cut in and was running continually for more than an hour (since bottom tank is empty.) I switched off the Automatic water level system and the Pump immediately as the Motor may burn out.  Whole Sunday and Monday, we have lived with this 200 litres of water. Just now we have just 2 Buckets of water to manage!! I just checked up and found that water is likely to be pumped at about 3 PM. Good News!!. I thought that I should cheer you up by conveying this good news to you. Let me assure you that we are not alone in managing poor supply. I saw this morning  Water Bowzers at least at three places including lower end of D Sector. But then visit of external water supply vehicles on Week Ends including Monday is a common occurrence now in our Complex. Equitable water supply here is a myth!! Purely, a theoretical Exercise!! Cheer Up Old Boy!! We have seen the worst!!! Do not forget that we are Veterans in this Colony!!.

If the earlier method was faulty what were the cogent reasons for  discontinuing the additional supply on Mondays,Wednesdays & Fridays? Presently on these days water is supplied after 32 hours once only leading to many empty tanks even in sector C leave alone sectors A & B!! Perhaps I am the only one facing these difficulties (which I have very seldom had since moving in  Feb 91)as I have not seen any other complaints.If,as I suspect,there are many 'silent sufferers' then may I request the BOM to kindly explain their logic and take such measures to remedy the situation as they deem fit.
