Silt and dirt have accumulated up to 3 to 4 feet in the clarification tank and flocculation tank. Due to which the health of the citizens has been put at risk. But despite this, no one is ready to pay attention to this.
The Municipal Council’s water filter plant has been installed in the Tanka Ground complex of the city. But due to negligence, this water filter plant is now in dilapidated condition. While going for purification of water from the Clarification Tank of the Water Filter Plant, the scraper device installed to clean the bottom silt in the tank, it works to remove the upper silt. But this device is closed since last many days.
As a result, 3 to 4 feet of silt has accumulated in the tank itself due to neglect. Water is supplied to the entire Hinganghat city from this water filter plant. Contaminated and impure water is being supplied to the city due to the closure of the scraper, which cleans the dirt of that tank. Due to which the question of health of citizens has been created.
