The drinking water supply to six wards of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) - F-North, F-South, L, M-East, M-West, and N - will be affected from 10 am on May 5 to 4 pm on May 6 (30 hours).

The Mumbai civic body has scheduled essential maintenance works during this period, affecting water supply in multiple wards of BMC in eastern Mumbai. According to an official statement issued by the BMC, during this period, water supply will remain suspended in certain areas within the city zone (F-North and F-South Wards) and the eastern suburbs (L, M-East, M-West, and N Wards). Additionally, water supply will be provided at reduced pressure in other specific locations.

Why the water cut?

BMC has undertaken work to operationalise the water tunnel from Amar Mahal to Wadala, Parel, as well as to Trombay and the Turbhe elevated reservoir. As part of this, 1800 mm diameter pipelines will be connected, along with other allied works.

To facilitate the work, the 1800 mm pipeline supplying the Turbhe elevated reservoir and the 1200 mm pipeline supplying the low-level reservoir will be temporarily shut. The work will be carried out over 30 hours, from 10 am on May 5 to 4 pm on May 6.
