He said 120 MGD of water was received from Haryana as against the normal supply of 580 MGD of raw water.

"On Wednesday morning, most areas will get piped supply. We received 120 MGD water from Haryana today. Supply will be limited until the canal is repaired.

"The government hopes the situation improves," he said in a series of tweets.

According to Delhi Jal Board, three water treatment plants at Wazirabad, Chandrawal and Okhla are operating partially after a drop in the ammonia level in the Wazirabad pond.
