<h3><strong>Precautions for Maintaining Quality that Citizens Should Take</strong></h3>
<ol>
<li>Drinking water should always be stored in a clean environment and in clean containers.</li>
<li>If the drinking water supplied by the Municipal Corporation is stored in a society’s basement or other storage tanks, ensure that the surrounding area is kept clean. All water tanks in the society should be cleaned at regular intervals.</li>
<li>Take care to ensure that no water from external sources, which may not be properly treated or verified, is mixed into the drinking water tank supplied by the Municipal Corporation.</li>
<li>Ensure that no sewage or similar water is stored near the drinking water tank or allowed to flow directly into it.</li>
<li>When undertaking any plumbing work at home, verify that the pipelines for drinking water and other water supplies remain separate and do not get mixed.</li>
<li>For the convenience of citizens, a paid water testing facility has been made available at the Parvati Water Center Laboratory, located opposite Bhandari Hotel, Sinhagad Road, Ganeshmala, Pune-30. The challan (payment receipt) for water testing can be issued between 9:00 AM and 12:30 PM, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and all government holidays. The water testing report will be provided on the fifth working day after submitting the water sample. To collect the test report, a photocopy of the paid challan must be submitted at the laboratory.</li>
