Emergency Repairs Underway on Major Leak in Mumbai-III Water Pipeline Near Thane
A major leak was detected in the 3,000-mm diameter Mumbai-III water pipeline near Teen Hath Naka in Thane, located about 3 to 4 meters underground and encased for protection. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) initiated emergency repairs, facing technical challenges due to the pipeline's depth and casing. The leak, caused during preliminary MMRDA investigations, has led to significant water loss and is expected to affect Mumbai's water supply, especially in eastern suburbs. Repair work is ongoing with completion anticipated soon, and citizens are urged to conserve water.
