In Lodhi Colony, CPWD looks after the buildings but the tank interiors fall between agencies — so allottee families pool up and book their own. KaamGenie cleans the block’s shared tanks and the plastic add-ons alike, documented for every household. From ₹699.
Lodhi Colony is the CPWD-maintained government colony famous for its street-art blocks — low-rise walk-ups on NDMC supply, each block sharing overhead RCC tanks, with a growing layer of residents’ own plastic tanks added on landings and roofs for backup. Official maintenance covers the structure conscientiously, but tank interiors sit in a gap between agencies and cycles, so the practical solution the colony has evolved is private: the allotted families of a block pool together and book a cleaning between CPWD’s rounds.
KaamGenie serves exactly that arrangement. For the plastic add-on tanks we do the full gentle process — drain, wet-vacuum, plastic-safe jet wash, soft-pad scrub of the algae film the translucent walls grow, food-grade disinfection, photos and a dated certificate each family can keep. Where the block also wants its shared RCC tank done, our main water tank cleaning in Lodhi Colony page covers the combined job; this page focuses on the plastic units.
CPWD’s remit runs to the building — walls, roofs, external plumbing — and NDMC delivers reliably clean water to the gate. But the inside of the storage tank belongs to neither agency’s routine, and in the gap the usual chemistry proceeds: sediment layering in shared RCC tanks with decades of service, and on the plastic add-ons, sunlight through the wall growing algae while mineral scale packs into the floor ribs. Clean supply, ageing storage — the water is only as good as the last tank it stood in.
The add-on tanks are the newer half of the problem. Bought and mounted by individual households over the years, they follow no standard — some shaded on landings and doing fine, others in full roof sun and green inside within a season, many with lids gone brittle from UV and no longer seating. We clean each one on its own condition, and a block that books together gets every tank — shared and private — reset in a single visit at a pooled rate.
No travel charge anywhere in Lodhi Colony. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

We reach every pocket of Lodhi Colony — and there’s no travel charge to any of them:
“Are we allowed to book private cleaning in a government colony?” Yes — allottee families across Lodhi Colony do this routinely. Tank cleaning is upkeep of your own water storage, not a structural alteration; you need no permission beyond the block’s own agreement on access. We work discreetly and leave the roof exactly as found.
“How does a pooled block booking work?” One resident coordinates, we survey the block’s tanks — the shared RCC units plus however many plastic add-ons — and quote the lot as one job with a per-tank rate that drops for four or more. Every household receives the before-after photos and a copy of the dated certificate.
“What do the plastic add-on tanks cost individually?” ₹699 up to 500 litres — most Lodhi Colony add-ons are this size — and ₹899 for 501–1,000 litres. A single household can book just its own tank without the block; we only need access to where it is mounted and a power point.
“The NDMC water here is good — do the tanks really need this?” The supply is good; the storage is the issue. Water standing behind a sunlit translucent wall grows algae regardless of how clean it arrived, and old shared tanks carry years of settled sediment. Cleaning restores the storage to the standard of the supply — that is the whole point.
“Can you come the same day?” For a single plastic tank, usually yes — call 95603 66362 before 10 AM and Lodhi Colony sits neatly on our central round. Pooled block jobs need a day or two of lead time so all the sharing families are squared on access and timing.
