Gurgaon: Water Supply Restored After Pipeline Leak
There was a big leak in a water pipe in Gurgaon that supplies water to many areas.
The leak happened because the pipe got damaged due to changes in temperature.
The water supply was fixed after two days, and now people can get water again.
This is not the first time this has happened, as similar issues have occurred before.
A 1600 mm master water pipeline leaked near Sector 88 in Gurgaon, disrupting water supply to sectors 81 to 99 and Sector 37.
The leak was detected on Monday evening and repaired by Wednesday.
The cause of the leak was a joint in the pipeline coming apart due to temperature variations.
This is a recurring issue with large-diameter mild steel pipelines laid horizontally and connected through joints.
A similar breach in a master water pipeline near Subhash Chowk on Sohna Road disrupted traffic last week, with repairs completed in about 11 hours.
