Even as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has a water stock of about 96 per cent, the month of September's monsoon will decide if the city will go scot-free without any water cut or not. When the city witnessed a good amount of rainfall last year during months of June and July, the dry spell of August and September led to the sufferings of the citizens.

However, not willing to take any such chances and with the IMD predicting a monsoon filled Ganeshotsav, the BMC hopes to announce a water-cut free year. However, while the sources said it would be too early in the day to decide on this, a stock of the water situation will only be taken by October 1.
