The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will carry out urgent repair work on a key 1,200 mm water pipeline supplying the Turbhe Low-Level Reservoir on Sunday, resulting in an eight-hour water shutdown across several areas in the M East and M West wards.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the BMC’s Public Relations Department said the repair operation will take place on December 7 between 11 am and 7 pm. The intervention has been deemed essential after the civic body detected a leakage in the main pipeline, which plays a critical role in maintaining a steady water supply to large parts of eastern Mumbai.
Areas to Face Water Disruption
The shutdown will affect multiple residential, industrial and institutional clusters across both wards.
M East Ward (Ward Nos. 146, 147, 148):
Residents and establishments in the refinery outlet region—including HPCL, Varun Beverages Ltd., BARC, HPCL Colony, BPCL Supply, Gavanpada, RCF Colony, Old Bharat Nagar, Hashu Advani Nagar, New Bharat Nagar, Rockline Buildings, J-plot Buildings, Sahyadri Nagar, Om-Ganesh Nagar, Rahul Nagar and Ashok Nagar—will face a complete halt in water supply throughout the repair window.

Several neighbourhoods will also experience a full-day disruption, including Maravali Church, Mysore Colony, Vashi Village, Mahul, Amba Pada, Jijamata Nagar, Sai Leela, SRA Buildings (Mahul), Farooq Galli, Khadi Machine, Sharad Nagar, Navjeevan Society, Collector Colony, Sindhi Camp, MS Buildings, Ramtekdi, Tolaram Camp, Chembur Tower, Chembur Nagar SRA, Kokne Nagar, Maitri Park, Union Park, Charai Village, Golf Club, CG Road, RC Marg, Lal Dongar, MHADA Colony, RCF Ltd., Chembur Gaothan, Ghatla, Subhash Nagar, Siddharth Colony, NG Acharya Marg, Vijay Park, Corporate Church, Dr Garden area, Chembur Station Road, WT Patil Marg, Khardev Nagar, N.

The BMC has urged residents to store sufficient water in advance and cooperate with the authorities while the emergency work is underway. Civic officials said the normal water supply is expected to be restored once the repair operation concludes on Sunday evening.
Earlier, the BMC had announced a 15 per cent water cut in parts of Mumbai on December 8-9. The Mumbai civic body stated that a major water pipeline supplying the Bhandup Water Purification Plant will be replaced, leading to a 15 per cent water cut across 17 administrative wards in city. The water cut will be in effect from 10 am, on Monday, December 8, 2025 to 10 a.m. on Tuesday, December 9, 2025.
According to the BMC, the 2,750 mm diameter Tansa water pipeline, which carries water from the Tansa Dam to the Bhandup treatment plant, needs to be replaced. The old pipeline will be removed and a new one will be installed. This work will require around 24 hours, during which there will be a reduction in the water supply reaching the treatment plant.
