Locals in Gorai have claimed that the area between the Vale and Shefali bus stop has not been supplied potable water for the past 12 years, but the residents are still paying water bills amounting to Rs 400 almost every quarter. Residents claimed that multiple inquiries for restoring the water supply to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) have fallen on deaf ears and gone unanswered over the years.
