Vadodara: A major leak took place in the main pipeline bringing water to the city from the French wells in Mahi river near Fajalpur late on Tuesday night. The leak was repaired by Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) early on Wednesday.
According to sources, the breach in the pipeline took place near Nandesari village on the outskirts of the city because of the work of laying cables being conducted by a private telecom company.
After being informed about the leakage, VMC officials rushed to the spot at around midnight and started work to plug the leak on the pipeline measuring 1,354mm in diameter. Work could be completed by around 6am on Wednesday.
Sources said that the civic body will be issuing a notice to the telecom company, asking it to pay up for the damage of the pipeline as well as for wastage of potable water from it.
