The inspection came after villagers raised concerns over the availability and quality of drinking water.
Some residents had claimed they were relying on alternative sources to meet their daily water needs.
Public Health Engineering (PHE) sub-divisional officer (SDO) Sanjay Mukati said villagers had informed the department about saline water issues nearly four years ago, following which a new handpump was installed at a central location in the settlement. He said residents had been using water from the handpump since then.
According to the department, the current shortage has been caused by a decline in groundwater levels during the peak summer season. To improve water availability, additional pipes have recently been installed in the handpump.
SDM Virendra Singh Baghel said the inspected handpump was functional and that four handpumps exist in the hamlet. While one yields saline water and another was undergoing technical improvements, the remaining two are providing potable water.
He added that all available water sources have been assessed and further measures will be taken if required.
