The work on the rejuvenation of the 12 Pulley well at Hutatma Chowk (Bara Ghadghadyachi Vihir) has begun since today.
The work is expected to end before the monsoon and even if the water is not utilised this season, it would be a boon for the next years.
In the older times this was the biggest well in this area provoding drinking water to the areas in the city. This well was exactly infront of the Kaveri Cold drinks now.
Dr. M. Vishveshwarayya who designed the Rakaskop Scheme had mentioned in the Preamble to his report that “Belgaum water supply can be maintained by a chain of wells.”
