posted on 16 MayMy Rajkot property: The hidden water cost.
Okay I'll say what no one says: Krishna Kunj's water is a hidden money pit. Borewell reliance and tanker costs significantly eat ROI. This daily expense is brutal. Change my mind.

This thread is so important. I almost put down booking money in Krishna Kunj last month. The sales guy made it sound like a minor issue. Now I'm rethinking everything. Has anyone tried complaining to RERA about this kind of misrepresentation? Does it even help?
My friend who lives there said they formed a residents' association to collectively negotiate tanker rates and push for better municipal supply. It's a continuous struggle for them.
RERA mein bhi kitna time lagta hai, yaar. Bahut hectic process hai.
RERA complaints can definitely help, especially if you have written proof of promises made. They can at least mediate. But the process is slow, and getting a full resolution on something like water supply can be tricky if it's a regional issue.
It's not just Krishna Kunj, many new developments on the outskirts of Rajkot are facing water scarcity due to over-reliance on groundwater. Builders need to be more transparent. This affects resale value too, be careful first-time buyers.
Generally, older, more established areas within the city limits tend to have better municipal water infrastructure. Like areas near Kalawad Road or 150 ft Ring Road, but prices there are also higher. For new projects, always check the RERA documents for water source details and talk to current residents if possible. Don't just trust the builder's sales pitch.
So, is there any specific area in Rajkot where water supply is generally good? I'm looking for a 2BHK and this is a major concern now.
Sahi baat hai. Rajkot mein pani ka issue badh raha hai.
This is so true. My uncle bought in Krishna Kunj Phase 2 two years back. They were promised good municipal supply but it's been a nightmare. Society charges ₹1500 per month for water, and still, they have to call private tankers almost every other day. It's not just the money; the uncertainty is frustrating. Builders hide these things during sales.
Really? I was considering Krishna Kunj. Is it only Krishna Kunj or other societies in that area also face this? What's the average monthly cost you're talking about?
Haan, it's a common issue in that particular zone, not just Krishna Kunj. Monthly costs can easily hit 2-3k just for water if you're using tankers regularly. It depends on usage, but borewell supply is often insufficient.
Totally agree! I heard about this problem from a friend who lives there. Builder ne bola tha municipal water aayega, but nothing.
