Formerly  this  Water  supply  Scheme  was administered through  Maharashtra Jeevan  Pradhikaran  Department.  Since  1st  July,  1999  the  Municipal  Council  took  over the administration  of the said  Scheme.  All  the  workers engated  in the Jeevan  Pradhikaran  were  transferred  to Municipality.
