The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday announced a 5-10 percent water cut in Mumbai from October 17 to 18, citing a problem in a pipeline valve in Thane district.
The civic body said a failure occurred in a 900 mm valve of the Vaitarna water supply system in Tarali (Thane district), forcing a partial shutdown of the water supply system.
As a result, there has been a 5% to 10% reduction in water supply to the Bhandup Water Treatment Plant, which supplies water to Greater Mumbai. As a result, 5% to 10% water supply disruption will be imposed in Mumbai from Thursday 17 October to Friday 18 October.
BMK adds that immediate actions have been taken to repair the damage, and for this purpose a partial shutdown of the water transmission system is necessary. As a result, there will be a 5% to 10% reduction in water supply to the Bhandup Water Treatment Plant, which supplies water to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation area (Mumbai city and suburbs).
The repair is expected to take about 48 hours.
“Citizens are implored to store enough water and use it wisely. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation administration appeals to all citizens to cooperate by conserving water during this period,” the statement said.
