Thane Implements Water Shortage Measures and Weekly Shutdown Amid Deficit
Thane Municipal Corporation is addressing a daily water shortfall of 50 million litres by implementing measures such as disconnecting illegal taps, GPS-tracking water tankers, and suspending supply to major infrastructure projects. Additionally, starting October 28, 2026, TMC will enforce a weekly 24-hour water shutdown every Wednesday to comply with Maharashtra's mandated 10% water cut amid concerns over reservoir levels and potential drought linked to El Niño. Residents are advised to plan water usage accordingly.
