Are Mumbai’s ageing pipelines breathing their last? After the recent leakage in a pipeline in June at Ghatkopar, a portion of the New Tansa (nothing new in it except the name) pipeline that supplies water to Parel and Matunga, burst early Wednesday morning, at the Five Gardens junction. A 20-feet long portion was to be replaced yesterday night, before supply was scheduled to be resumed this morning. The same pipeline had burst nearly two years ago as well.
