Pune Builders Extend Help to Conserve Water

Real estate firms in the city said on Thursday that they would not use water from Pune Municipal Corporation sources for construction purposes. A circular issued by Satish Magar, president of the confederation of real estate developers’ associations of India (Credai), Pune, said, “Our general practice is not to use the PMC water for construction. In fact, builders do not get the permission to do so. However, in case there is an odd case where such a situation exists, we have passed a resolution asking members to ensure that construction activity does not impact the city’s water supply.”

Credai has also asked its members to defer non-critical construction activity to help the citizens’ water needs, the circular said. Magar said in the circular that Credai members have decided to do their best to help the city which is facing water crisis. “Our members will not use any water from the PMC resources but use our own borewells or water from the Sewage Treatment Plants for our construction needs and even in our projects,” Magar said, adding that the members have also shown willingness to make their excess water available with the PMC for making it to areas surrounding such water sources.”
