The city has enough stock of water in the lakes for the summer. The total water stock was around 44 per cent on March 10, which will last for almost another five months. This is the second year in a row when the city will not face water cuts in the summer. Last year, the city faced water cuts during the monsoon due to insufficient rain in June and July.

The city gets water from seven lakes — Bhatsa, Tansa, Upper Vaitarna, Middle Vaitarna, Modak Sagar, Tulsi and Vihar which have a combined capacity of 14.47 lakh million litres of water. The BMC supplies 3,850 million litres of water every day to the city. Around 700 MLD water is being used by industries while the floating population — people coming from other cities — use around 50 MLD water. As on March 10, the total stock of water was 6.39 lakh million litres. Last year, on the same day, the water stock was 6.82 lakh million litres.
