A report saw all the leaders passing the buck but acknowledging that there is a problem. First of all, booster pumps should not be allowed in residential societies as they pull the water and deprive some of the regular water supply.

Secondly, when towers and residential and commercial infra come up in an area, attention must be paid to how to increase the water supply. We see infra explosion but necessities like these do not keep pace.

We cannot have a scenario where certain sectors get more attention and new pipes, while some are left in the lurch. This is inequality and creates bitterness and discontent.

The corroded pipes theory certainly sounds plausible, given how old they are. Public representatives must heed the problems of the people, 
escalate the matter and then, those in charge who have the power to do so, should take action and change these pipes to address the need of today.
Exploding population, new-age residential facilities and greater demands pose challenges and our old amenities need to be replaced, to meet them.
