According to the Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Limited (KUKL), around five lakh liters of water was wasted when a water pipe burst in Thapathali this morning. Earlier on January 30th, 1 million liters of water was wasted when the pipe that distributed Melamchi water in Babarmahal burst.
This time, the problem was solved quickly. Limited's spokesperson Prakash Kumar Rai informed that a pipe burst in Babarmahal due to Nepal Electricity Authority.
He said that even though further reasons for the pipe burst are being studied, initially it may have burst due to high water pressure. Since the pipe burst in the morning, the technical team of the Limited has been studying the Thapathali area. Spokesman Rai said that the waste water pipe taken from there was also found damaged. Limited has informed that while purchasing the pipe, it has been brought by 'Third Party Inspection'. It is said that if there is any problem due to human reasons, it will be corrected.
Limited has now managed the broken pipe in Thapathali. Spokesperson Rai said that water will be distributed in that area in a few days as before. For this, the technical group of Limited is currently working in the Thapathali area where the pipe burst.
Government agencies other than those related to drinking water do not coordinate the digging of roads, so many places have problems with pipes. Limited said that sometimes the water pressure also causes problems in the pipes.
