Bardagoriya Rural Municipality Expands Water Supply Project
Summary
Bardagoriya Rural Municipality is expanding its drinking water pipeline in Jadethana and other wards of Kailali, but many households still do not know when water will actually reach the new taps. Local residents hope the project will end years of dependence on river and well water, while officials say supply to the first-phase wards should begin within months.
Key Points
- Bardagoriya Rural Municipality is expanding drinking water pipelines in Jadethana and other wards, with work currently focused on wards 3, 4 and 6 in the first phase.
- Many households have already paid for tap connections, but water has not yet reached the taps because of technical delays and phased implementation.
- Residents say river and well water are often unsafe or inconvenient, especially during monsoon floods and for daily household use.
- Municipal chairman Karnabahadur Kunwar says the project is being coordinated with the World Bank and higher levels of government and should serve all wards eventually.
