Noida: The Confederation of Resident Welfare Associations (CONRWA) has expressed deep concern regarding the supply of pure drinking water in Noida. The organization has written a letter to the Chief Executive Officer of the Noida Authority regarding this issue, stating that even after 49 years since the establishment of Noida, there has been no assurance of 100% pure drinking water supply to date.CONRWA President P.S. Jain said that the Honorable Supreme Court had directed 25 years ago that the Noida Authority should establish adequately sized water treatment plants within two years to provide pure drinking water to citizens, but no concrete steps have been taken in this direction so far.He stated that it is concerning that, despite having sufficient resources, the authority has not prioritized the drinking water supply.The organization claims that millions of liters of Ganga water and groundwater are being wasted today simply because water is not being purified to the appropriate standards and delivered to citizens.
The organization says that today millions of liters of Ganga water and groundwater are being wasted solely because water is not being purified to the appropriate level before reaching the citizens.Mixing Ganga water with tube well/rainwater also affects its quality. The only solution to this is to install small water treatment plants on all reserve wires so that each citizen can receive purified drinking water.The organization has also clarified that just as small sewage treatment plants are being set up to purify drain water, it is entirely possible and necessary to establish water treatment plants to improve the quality of drinking water.CONRWA has demanded that the authorities immediately formulate a solid policy to ensure the supply of purified drinking water. The organization has also stated that if needed, it is always ready to cooperate in this endeavor.
