Thane Municipal Corporation Announces 24-Hour Water Supply Shutdown for Maintenance on May 21-22

Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) will halt water supply for 24 hours from 12 pm on May 21 to 12 pm on May 22 to allow Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) to perform urgent maintenance and upgrades on the Barvi gravity pipelines at the Jambhul Water Filtration Plant. The shutdown will affect large parts of Divas, Kalwa, most of Mumbra (excluding some wards), and selected areas in Wagle Estate and Manpada. Residents are advised to store sufficient water and conserve usage, as water pressure may remain low for up to 48 hours after service resumes.
