Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation [AMC] review: Urgent complaint regarding sewage contamination in drinking water – jamalpur area

To,
The Health Officer / Water Supply Department
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation
Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Respected Sir/Madam,
I am writing this complaint to inform you about a very serious public health issue in our area.
My address:
70, Rafik cycle works Mochi Ole, Jamalpur, Ahmedabad – 380001
For the last 15 days, the government drinking water supply coming to our house is heavily contaminated with sewage water.
The water is:
1 Blackish in color
2 Extremely foul smelling
3 Clearly mixed with gutter/sewage water
4 Unfit for drinking and household use

This problem occurs especially during the morning water supply time. Because of this contaminated water, family members are already facing health problems, and there is a serious risk of spreading water-borne diseases like diarrhea, typhoid, cholera, and other infections.

This is a matter of public health emergency, and immediate inspection of the water pipeline is required. There may be leakage or cross-connection between sewage and drinking water pipelines in our area.

I strongly request AMC authorities to:
Conduct urgent inspection in Jamalpur area.
Repair any damaged pipelines immediately.
Ensure clean and safe drinking water supply.
Take strict action against responsible negligence.

If no immediate action is taken, we will be forced to escalate this complaint to higher authorities and media for the safety of residents.

Kindly treat this matter as URGENT and take strict action at the earliest.

Thanking you.
Sincerely,
Fardeen Shaikh
