What they don't tell you about water supply in Pune projects

For the last six months, I've been seriously looking for a 3BHK in Pune for my family. NBC Shrirang Park looks good, but I'm concerned about daily realities. They promise 24/7 water; is it reliable municipal supply or tanker dependent, especially in summer? My wife's priority is a genuinely safe, usable play area for the kids, not just a ticked-off checkbox. Are the maintenance charges reasonable for the actual service? Does it feel like a real home? Any experiences there?

It's a tough decision, especially for first-time buyers. My advice would be to visit the site multiple times, not just during sales hours. Talk to any existing residents in nearby phases or projects by the same builder, if possible. For water, check if the area has known water issues. For play areas, look at the actual space during the day, imagine your kids there. And always, always read the fine print of the agreement for maintenance and amenity guarantees. Don't rush into it just because the brochure looks good.

Interesting discussion! One thing I noticed about NBC Shrirang Park is the total units, only 48. Is that too small for a good community feel? Also, with so many projects coming up in Pune, do you think prices like ₹1.4 Cr for an upcoming project are justified given the current market conditions? Seems like a buyer's market to me.

Smaller projects are actually better, yaar! Less crowded, more peaceful. Community feel toh residents pe depend karta hai, not just numbers.

Small projects can be a double-edged sword. While they might feel exclusive, the maintenance charges per unit can be higher since fewer people are sharing the costs for common amenities and staff. Definitely something to factor into your budget.

The play area point is so valid! In my current rented flat in Akurdi, they showed a beautiful render, but the actual play area is just a small patch of grass next to the parking lot, not safe at all. Kids can't even play properly without fear of cars. Make sure to check the actual space and how it's separated from traffic. Also, ask about the maintenance charges break-up; sometimes they include amenities that are never fully functional.

Thanks for sharing your concerns! I also saw NBC Shrirang Park, the designs look promising. But yeah, the water thing is critical. What's the price range they are quoting for a 3BHK there? My budget is tight.

₹1.4 Cr for an upcoming project? That's quite steep for a first-time buyer like me. Mera budget toh itna nahi hai.

For NBC Shrirang Park, a 3BHK is in the ₹1.4 Cr – ₹2.6 Cr range, depending on the size and floor. Possession is expected by 2028-06-01. RERA number is PR1260002500650. Do your due diligence, it's an upcoming project, so there's always a risk with timelines and final quality. Don't just go by brochures.

Bhai, 24/7 water is the biggest lie builders tell. Especially for upcoming projects. Always assume tanker supply, especially in peak summer. Dekh ke lena.

Totally agree with the tanker point. My society in Ambegaon was supposed to have full municipal supply, but after possession, we realized the pressure was too low for upper floors. So, half the building depends on tankers anyway, and the tanker mafia is real, bhai. Charges keep going up. Make sure the agreement explicitly mentions municipal water and penalties if not provided.

Exactly! My cousin bought a flat near Sinhagad Road, builder promised municipal water connection. Now they get it for like 2 hours in the morning, rest is tanker. It's a huge headache and extra cost.
