BMC to Resume Water Supply to Mumbai Municipal Swimming Pools from August 16
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will resume water supply to municipal swimming pools in Mumbai from August 16, after suspending it in mid-June due to low reservoir levels and rainfall concerns. Despite maintaining a 10% water cut citywide, the BMC cited improved reservoir storage at nearly 89% capacity as justification. Officials must ensure water quality testing, filtration, and safety measures before reopening. Some officials questioned prioritizing pools amid ongoing water supply issues in parts of the city.
