Civic appeal
The civic officials appealed to the residents of these localities to store water and cooperate with the BMC. BMC Hydraulic Engineer Ramesh Bambale said, “We have started connectivity work on the Marol-Maroshi-Mahim tunnel at various locations, and this work is a part of the project. It will reduce leakages and quality of water supplied will improve.” Worli resident Rashmi Vichare said, “It is a good thing if quality of water improves, or else it will only be an irritation for us.”
