BMC Announces Water Supply Disruptions in Mumbai Amid Pipeline Maintenance and Reservoir Updates
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will conduct maintenance on the 2,400-mm Vaitarna water pipeline from 10 am on August 11 to 10 am on August 12, causing water supply disruptions in parts of Mumbai's K-East and H-East wards. H-East will face a complete shutdown, while K-East areas will experience low-pressure supply at specified times. Residents are advised to store water and use it judiciously. Meanwhile, Mumbai's seven reservoirs hold 88.50% of their live storage capacity despite recent rainfall, with four lakes overflowing and maintaining healthy water reserves.
