स्विमिंग पूल से पहले पानी पूछिए: जयपुर में पानी और ड्रेनेज की जांच।
A brochure highlights the swimming pool, but many buyers never ask where the drinking water comes from. In Jaipur, water source is part of property value, not just a maintenance issue.
Why this matters
Rajasthan has serious groundwater stress. Reporting in 2026, based on Central Ground Water Board data, described more than 70 percent of the state’s assessed groundwater units as over-exploited, and groundwater quality concerns have also been reported for several districts including Jaipur. A UN-Habitat study of Jaipur lists urban sprawl, drought, water vulnerability and urban flooding among the city’s planning challenges.
Questions to ask the society
- Is water from a PHED connection, a borewell or tankers?
- What is the average monthly tanker cost?
- How often did supply fall in summer?
- Is rainwater harvesting actually working?
- Is the sewer connected to an STP or is it a septic arrangement?
The five-visit test
Before finalising, visit the property five times:
- A weekday morning
- The evening peak traffic
- Around 9 pm at night
- After rain
- Without the broker, to talk to residents
Ask residents specific questions, not “how is the society?”
- How much water comes in summer?
- Does maintenance work on time?
- Does the basement flood?
- How often does the lift stop?
- How long does it take to get out at peak hour?
- What did a flat in the last six months actually resell for?
