A local activist from St
Cruz in letter to Public Works Department has demanded to repair bore well located in high water table areas in St Cruz and supply people in these area 24 hours water from these bore wells.
In the petition submitted to PWD minister local activist Mukundraj Mudras has submitted to minister that there are 2 bore wells which were dug by the Public Works Department behind Shree Shantadurga Temple located at Corte Real, St Cruz to augment the water supply of Village St Cruz and surrounding areas a few decades ago, and were functional till about 15 years ago.
Now these wells were abandoned by the Public Works Department due to pump failures. These well are located at the bottom of lake Bondvol, and the water table is so high that water oozes out of the wells even in peak summer, that to even without a pump.
If the said bore wells are repaired/made functional, they can provide huge relief from the severe water crunch to the residents of St Cruz as well as Goa
Medical College, which is on the same water supply network.
