Residents across the locality identify water scarcity as their most urgent concern. While some infrastructure upgrades, including pipeline improvements, are underway, many remain skeptical about whether these efforts will ensure a stable and reliable supply

Dhanashree Khare (26), a resident of Warinpada, echoed similar concerns. Having lived in the area for over two decades, she noted a steady decline in water availability over the past two to three years. “People here have registered complaints with the BMC, but no action has been taken,” she said

Rakhi Ambekar (38), a homemaker residing near Ram Mandir, described the severity of the situation, saying that the shortage has persisted since last monsoon. “We sometimes rely on water tankers. Currently, water supply is available for barely an hour. Just recently, we had no water for two to three days,” she said

Local civic representatives have acknowledged the gravity of the crisis. According to BMC Corporator Chintamani Nivate, low water pressure is a primary factor affecting supply in areas such as Gazdhar Bandh and Khar Danda

Officials from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) maintain that corrective steps have been taken. According to a civic official, water supply duration has been extended from the earlier 5 pm–8 pm schedule to now continue until 10 pm. However, residents on the ground report that the extended timings have not fully resolved the issue, particularly due to inconsistent pressure

The official attributed the temporary low pressure to occasional water cuts, stating that normal supply is usually restored within a day or two and that the situation will require continued monitoring.
