Though the rain has receded since last week in Mumbai, the catchment area of the seven lakes which supplies water to the city, have enough stock of water according to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The total water stock of the lakes is 94.68 per cent, which according to the civic body is more than the last two years' stock around the same time. The stock has to be 100 per cent at the end of September for uninterrupted supply of water throughout the year, a senior official from the water department told mid-day.

The BMC had imposed a 10 per cent cut in water supply and 15 per cent in timings since November 2018 after water stock in the lakes had depleted owing to insufficient rainfall last year in the catchment areas. The civic body had decided to withdraw the water cut in July this year after reviewing the water stocks in all the seven lakes and sufficient rainfall.
