I first thought we should try drinking tap water
Four months after the pilot phase was launched in Navjeevan Vihar in Malviya
Nagar, residents say they haven’t used tap water for drinking purposes even once
and still rely on water filters. My husband is in the business of water supply
and he checked the quality. After two years of hard work, our government is
going to give the same guarantee in 11 zones.†Another resident, Ms Sehgal, said
her family uses tap water for washing vegetables and for other non-drinking
purposes only.
We are always suspicious about drinking from it,†she said.
Similarly, Nupur Verma, a student, said, "We can’t trust the claims that the
water from the taps is cleanâ€. (Representational image) New Delhi: In March this
year, the Delhi government had inaugurated a pilot project of providing 24x7
quality drinking water supply in a locality in South Delhi, under which it had
said that people could drink water directly from taps — just like in Western
countries. The project was launched with a view that the 24x7 supply will
improve water pressure and enable the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) to bypass the
overhead tanks and booster pumps.Residents claim water supplied not 100 per cent
clean.. A government official said that for the project to be successful, it
would need to spread more awareness and clear misconceptions among the people
about the project. Four months after the pilot phase China transmission

Nagar, residents say they haven’t used tap water for drinking purposes even once
and still rely on water filters.
I first thought we should try drinking tap
water but it didn’t appear to be very clean.Deputy chief minister Manish
Sisodia, while talking about the project in February said, "In Europe and
America, the government guarantees good quality water directly from taps. It was
not 100 per cent clean,†said Ms Akash Katyal, a retired school principal and a
resident of Navjeevan Vihar. It will also help it in saving water from
overflowing as consumers will have the facility to use direct water supply from
taps by closing the inlet of overhead tanks. Soon it will be done in other zones
also.While many residents this newspaper spoke to say that it is out of habit
that they use the filter or RO water, some also said that the water is not "that
clean†as the government claims it to be.Residents said that even though there
is a 24-hour supply, the pressure is not always good and they have not done away
with their motors and booster pumps yet. "We can’t drink from the tap because we
are not used to it
