Residents across several parts of Faridabad are set to face a 36-hour water supply disruption starting April 23, as the Faridabad Metropolitan Development Authority (FMDA) undertakes critical pipeline connection work along the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway corridor.
According to an official public notice issued by FMDA, the shutdown of Ranney Well Water Supply Line No. 1 will begin at 9 am on April 23 and continue till 9 pm on April 25, affecting water supply in multiple sectors and residential colonies. The temporary halt has been necessitated to facilitate the laying and connection of a 600-mm-diameter DI pipeline near the Sector 64–65 dividing road, close to the Mumbai Expressway.
FMDA officials said the agency executing the project had sought a 36-hour shutdown to safely integrate the new pipeline with the existing water supply network. The move is part of ongoing infrastructure augmentation work aimed at strengthening the city’s water distribution system.
Areas likely to be affected include Sectors 22, 23, 25, 55 and 58, along with colonies such as Gounchi, Shaheed Park, JCB Chowk, Panchayat Bhawan, Jain Colony, Bhim Bagh, Subhash Colony, Unchagaon, Milk Plant area and Prem Nagar.
Confirming the development, FMDA Joint Engineer (Water Supply) Parveen Singh said the shutdown would be temporary and normal water supply would be restored immediately after completion of the connection work.
The administration has urged residents in affected areas to store adequate water in advance to avoid inconvenience during the disruption period. Authorities also appealed for public cooperation to ensure timely completion of the project.
Officials further said that the strengthening of pipeline infrastructure along key expressway corridors was crucial for meeting the rising urban demand and ensuring long-term water supply stability in the rapidly expanding city.
For updates or queries related to the work, residents can contact the FMDA water supply division.
