Mumbai and Thane Authorities Advise Boiling Water After Reservoir Repairs
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Thane Municipal Corporation have advised residents in parts of Mumbai, Thane, and Bhiwandi to boil and filter drinking water for seven days. This precaution follows the completion and recommissioning of repairs on compartment No. 2 of the Yewai Master Balancing Reservoir at the Pise-Panjrapur water supply complex. While no contamination has been confirmed, the advisories aim to address potential water quality changes during the reservoir's restart. The Thane civic body also urged water conservation amid emerging drought conditions.
