MUMBAI: BMC on Friday announced a 15% water cut in parts of the city and western suburbs on August 3. There will be no supply at Kurla, Ghatkopar, Andheri and Goregaon.
“BMC has three reservoirs in Veravali (K East ward). These reservoirs supply drinking water to residents of various areas. To make water supply in these reservoirs more efficient, technical measures and improvements will be undertaken by BMC,” said an official on Friday. “The measures and improvements are in the final stages. Connecting underground pipelines, installing valves and flow meters on main pipelines will be undertaken on Tuesday. Water supply to Kurla-Ghatkopar, Andheri (East and West), Ram Mandir and Goregaon (West) will be disrupted from 8.30am to 10.30pm on August 3,” the official said.
Officials said supply in some areas will be at low pressure. Due to work, supply will be provided in all wards (except F North and F South) in the city and in all wards in western suburbs, with 15% reduction. The work includes connection of a water supply inlet between Powai-Veravali reservoirs.
