Superintendent engineer of PHED, Satish Kumar Jain, said "Pisanghan area of the district received about 7inch rainfall in 12 hours, and therefore the region is flooded. Because of this heavy rainfall, the main pipeline measuring 300 mm diameter which passed under a bridge over Sagarmati River got washed away as water level increased due to heavy rainfall. The main pipeline was coming from Jethana pump house near Nuriavas village, which is beside the river."
