Berhampur: The 135-year-old Janibili project has been damaged in the recent floods caused by Cyclone Arnab-induced heavy rain, affecting water supply in Berhampur.The project supplied around 90 million liters of water daily to silk city. “Due to the damage, the supply has now been reduced to 45 million liters,” Bikash Padhy, general manager of Watco (Berhampur division), said.Supply to Berhampur is currently being managed through the reserve of water in the Dakhinapur reservoir, collection wells and some other sources. “We have pressed around 46 water tankers to supply water in the deficit areas,” Padhy added.“As against the requirement of 90 million liters of water, at present, around 75 million liters, comprising 64 million liters from surface water and additional eight million liters from 18 production wells, are being supplied to the city,” Padhy said.BeMC commissioner A Sasya Reddy has appealed to the residents of silk city to use water judicially.The civic body has also deputed some labourers to expedite repair work at Janibili.The repair work is expected to be completed soon, Jagannath Pani, chief engineer, Rushikulya Vansadhara and Nagabali river basins here, said.The project was constructed during British rule in 1891 over the river to store water and supply it for drinking and irrigation purposes through its canal system.
