The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) said that certain parts of the city will face a 12-hour water cut, starting 9 am on Thursday. The decision has been taken owing to the essential repair work undertaken by the Shahad Temghar Water Supply Authority (STEM) Authority.

During this period, the Thane Municipal Corporation will manage water supply through its own sources, with a phased approach to ensure partial water availability across the city.

The affected areas are as follows:

Ghodbunder Road

Patlipada

Pawar Nagar

Kothari Compound

Azad Nagar

Dongripada

Waghbil

Anand Nagar

Kasarvadavali

Owale

Apart from these areas, certain parts of Samta Nagar, Ritu Park, Siddheshwar, Eternity, Johnson, Jail, Saket, Uthalsar, Retibandar, Kalwa, and Mumbra will also experience a water cut from 9 pm until 9 am on Friday.

During this period, the Thane civic body has appealed to residents to store adequate water in advance and avoid wastage. It further stated that the supply might be available at a lower pressure for one-two days after the repairs are completed.
