Sawaikar was speaking to reporters after he inspected the Mhaisal dam in the presence of former Shiroda MLA Mahadev Naik, BJP Shiroda Block President Suraj Naik and others.
Sawaikar took stock of work in progress and informed that the water treatment plant would release 10 MLD of water daily, to be supplied to Shiroda and Panchwadi.
"This has been a dream project of the people from Shiroda and the foundation stone for this project was laid by chief minister Manohar Parrikar in his previous term. This plant will be commissioned very soon to address the water shortage in these areas," Sawaikar said.
It may be recalled that Shiroda MLA Subhash Shirodkar had visited this site in April and was optimistic that the water treatment plant would be commissioned by August.
The govt had constructed the 10 MLD water treatment plant at the Mhaisal dam, after taking cognizance of severe water shortage problems in Shiroda and Panchwadi.
