Civic Appeal to Residents

The Thane Municipal Corporation has appealed to citizens to store adequate water in advance and cooperate during the maintenance work.

Water cut in phases from Jan 27

In an earlier statement, the civic body had informed that parts of Thane city in Maharashtra will face phased water supply cuts for 12 days starting from January 27, 2026.

The water cuts are due to repair work on the 'Pneumatic Gate System' installed at the Bhatsa river barrage at Pise, which supplies water to both Thane and Mumbai, it had stated.

The work is being carried out by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to increase the water level in the Bhatsa river, officials had said.

During the repair period, the water level at the Pise pumping station has been lowered, resulting in a 20 per cent reduction in water supply to Thane city. As a result, water will be supplied at low pressure in several areas.

To manage the reduced supply, the civic body has planned 24-hour water shutdowns in different parts of the city on different days.
