The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is planning a 25-year strategy to improve the city's water treatment infrastructure.
This plan comes after problems were found at the Parvati Water Treatment Plant, where old machines are causing issues with water quality.
The PMC wants to modernize the Parvati and Lashkar plants and build a new facility at Lashkar.
They have asked for the new Lashkar plant to be completed on time and have submitted an ₹810 crore proposal to the state government for this project.
