On record

An overhead water tank built to serve roughly 5,000 residents across four villages has leaked since it was completed around 2020; water supply was halted within about six months due to worsening leakage, and even after partial repairs roughly two years later, residents say "leakage in the tank continues," with water accumulating in village lanes.

The official record states: "The Water Corporation's Executive Engineer attributed the problem to "certain technical deficiencies" and promised resolution via a fresh contractor tender."

“A tank that has leaked since the day it was filled, serving four villages by not serving them.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

Visitor reviews Satire

“It has leaked from the day it was first filled, so Masina Khas gets its water from the tank walls rather than the taps.”
RK R. Kumar · Siddharth Nagar★★★★★
“Supply stopped within six months of completion, was repaired two years later, and the lanes are still wet.”
SP S. Patel · Siddharth Nagar★★★★★
“The Executive Engineer calls them certain technical deficiencies, and five thousand people across four villages call them buckets.”
AF A. Fernandes · Siddharth Nagar★★★★★
