UGR constructed at a cost of Rs 26 Crores
New UGRs will ensure equitable water distribution in the city of Delhi

The Delhi Jal Board has commissioned its newly constructed 5.8 Million Litres (ML) capacity Underground Reservoir and Booster Pumping Station at Narela. This has been possible because of commissioning of the Bawana Water Treatment Plant, recently. The Project has been completed at a cost of Rs. 26.0 Crore.
The commissiong of the UGR has benefitted about 1.15 lac people living in the villages of Khampur, Bakoli, Hamidpur, Singhu Singhola and colonies adjoining these villages. With the commissioning of the UGR, the residents of the area have started getting water at enhanced pressure. DJB staff has worked overnight to ensure that the UGR is commissioned quickly so that people of the area get benefit in current summer season. Earlier, water was supplied in the area through tube wells. The pressure used to be low and supply limited. With commissioning of the UGR, there has been tremendous improvement in water pressure and availability in the area.
DJB, with its limited available raw water, has been looking to bring about equitable water management through optimum utilization of its resources, to ensure that the maximum population is covered through the water distribution network of the Delhi Jal Board.
Sh R.S. Tyagi, Member, Water Supply, Delhi Jal Board has said that the DJB is working hard to increase the water production and its equitable distribution in the city by commissioning of all UGRs and Booster pumping stations and redistribution of water by displacement so that water reaches every house in the city. It will bring a major relief to the people of the area who were dependent on tankers for their water needs.
