At present municipal water supply is available only in the core city area, which is not more than 10% of the total area. Even in the core area where there is municipal water supply, the quality and quantity is very very insufficient. But all the residents has to pay water tax to the municipality. It is not justified. We are hearing for long time that some big water supply is coming up. But do not know if the same will be completed within next decade. The big river Brahmaputra is flowing through Guwahati. Still we are suffering for shortage of water.
