There has been frequent breakdown of PWD water pipelines along the MDR -6 road in Siolim . On world water day, our government spends lakhs of rupees of the exchequer to insert advertisements informing and creating awareness among the public to save a drop of water that leaks in our houses of taps etc but when it comes to the Govt Dept, our engineers and the line supervisors fail to rectify leaking water lines for days and weeks. This phone number 2420069/70 where one is supposed to lodge complaints is either unattended to or out of order.
In Siolim, there have been two places where water overflows on the main road at Marna in Valadares Vaddo near Victoria House and near the Pinto house in Bamon Vaddo. The leakage is under the rainstorm drain for several days where thousands of litres of precious treated water goes down the drain or roads.

I request the PWD Minister Nilesh Cabral and his engineers to create a Whatsapp number for water complaints immediately. We cannot go on losing so much of water while the engineers and field supervisors sit on their chairs and get paid fat salaries for negligence of service. It’s high time we have a water sentinel scheme introduced for the public to alert the PWD water department of Goa.
