Gastroenteritis, stomach infection and other water-related ailments are rising among residents of the upscale Bhakti Park complex in Wadala. Residents claim this is owing to the contaminated water supply for the past several weeks now. The water samples, which were investigated by a private lab, came out positive for E Coli and Coliform, both bacteria considered dangerous for human consumption. In addition, the water also emitted an offensive odour, thus it was declared unfit for consumption.

According to a test result from the Municipal Analyst laboratory, the content/samples tested do not meet the standards prescribed by BIS specifications (IS:10500 of 2012). The said report was also acknowledged by the medical officer of health in M West ward. However, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is yet to take steps to help the residents. Bhakti Park is a residential complex comprising 35 towers, housing 3,000 families.
