In a major relief for Navsari’s citizens, authorities unveiled ambitious plans for a state-of-the-art drainage and potable water network. This development directly targets the twin crises of unreliable water supply and sanitation-related health risks that have burdened the region for decades.
Picture this: streets flooded with sewage during rains, taps running dry in summer, and families boiling water just to stay safe. Those days could soon be history. The new network features high-capacity sewers, elevated reservoirs, and filtration units designed to deliver pure water straight to homes.
Municipal Commissioner Raj Patel emphasized the project’s scope: ‘We’re laying 60 km of pipes, installing 15 booster stations, and building two water treatment facilities. This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a revolution in urban living.’ The Rs 160 crore endeavor draws from AMRUT and Swachh Bharat funds.
Community leaders point to tangible benefits. Water quality tests will be automated, reducing contamination risks by 80%. Schools and hospitals stand to gain the most, with uninterrupted supply curbing absenteeism and medical emergencies.
As bulldozers roll in early next year, locals buzz with excitement. ‘Finally, our kids can drink from the tap without worry,’ remarked homemaker Meena Desai. This project not only quenches thirst but also flushes away the shadows of neglect, paving the way for a vibrant Navsari.
