The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has said that there will be 10 percent cut in the water supply in Mumbai and its suburbs besides the municipalities of Thane and Bhiwandi from December 1 to 5. This is due to a technical issue at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) water supply facility in Pise village.
Though urgent repair work to resolve the issue, the issue will likely continue for a few days. The BMC also urged residents to be cautious about water usage.
The fault has occurred at the pneumatic gate system at Pise, which supplies water to the areas under the jurisdiction of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.
Two days ago, many parts of Mumbai witnessed water shortage after repair work had to be undertaken at the Tansa water channel at Lower Parel.
On Saturday, deputy chief minister of the outgoing government Devendra Fadnavis said about how the state was facing a 50 per cent shortage of water. He had added that the only way ahead was to conserve water.
