Even though water stock in the lakes has gone up to 85 per cent within two weeks, the water cut will continue. However, on the occasion of Ganeshotsav, BMC chief Iqbal Singh Chahal has anounced that the cut would be 10% instead of 20%.

The BMC is in wait and watch mode, as in 2018, the water levels were high in August but the city faced 10 per cent water cut till the next monsoon as the rain receded in September.
