<p>The <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Navi-Mumbai-Municipal-Corporation-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC)</strong></a> has cancelled the evening water supply cut in city after the Morbe Dam, which supplies water to the city, reached 74 percent of its storage capacity due to recent heavy Maharashtra rains.</p>
<p>The NMMC announced that it will not reduce the evening water supply as previously planned.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The increase in water levels at Morbe Dam means there is now enough water to meet the city's requirements without having to cut back on the evening supply.</p>
<p>The fresh decision on water cut in city will come as a relief to the local residents.</p>
<p>Navi Mumbai and parts of state were on Thursday lashed by heavy rains. Several dams and lakes that provide drinking water to neighbouring Mumbai has also received heavy rains in the past days.</p>
<p>The NMMC stated that they will continue to monitor the dam&rsquo;s water levels closely and provide updates if there are any further changes.</p>

<p>A civic official said, &ldquo;Water stock has increased by 61 per cent since July 1, with the current level at 66.77 per cent. The IMD has predicted good and continuous rain, prompting us to withdraw the 10 per cent water cut that began on June 5. Additionally, we had reduced the water supply to Thane city and Bhiwandi by 10 per cent. Now, we have decided to restore the water supply to Thane city, Bhiwandi, and other gram panchayats.&rdquo; The total capacity of all lakes is 14,47,363 million litres.
