Glenoval Dam Project

To the South of the town an earthern bund against the Glenoval Stream, from the west forms an area of about three acres and 40' feet in depth, which holds enough water to meet the needs of the local people and that of visitors as well.

The project since 1959 gave water supply through taps at an estimated cost of Rs. 7 lakhs was completed under the supervision of the Irrigation and Power Department of the Maharashtra State. It was handed over to the Municipality for maintenance and use after the completion.

Due to the porous nature of the soil, water in the dam percolates to the lower portions of the hill. A big well has been bored there and the water is pumped into the dam, so that the supply of water may not at anytime fall short of needs.
