To increase the water storage capacity, the BMC plans to commence the work on the 140-year-old Malabar Hill water reservoir post-monsoon. As per the plan, a new reservoir will be constructed first and then the reconstruction work of the old one will begin. 

The Hanging Garden which is on the top of the reservoir will be uprooted and the work of reservoirs will be carried out for eight long years. However, the plan for the restoration of the garden is not yet finalised.
