As taps run dry in most of Andheri, residents have been forced to turn to water tankers that come at exorbitant rates. Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is, however, sure that work of repairing the broken pipeline will be completed by Sunday midnight and water supply will be restored from Monday morning.

During the drilling work of Metro 6 line, the 1,800 mm Veravali pipeline got punctured on Thursday at Andheri SEEPZ gate number 3. This resulted in water supply being stopped in most parts of Andheri East and West and Bandra East and West. Other part of the city faced some water shortage too. Since Friday, parts of Ghatkopar and Bhandup and Powai faced a water shortage. BMC had started repairing the pipeline on Friday, which was supposed to be complete by Sunday afternoon.
