The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced a 10 per cent water cut in mumbai, Thane and Bhiwandi till December 5.
This is owing to a technical malfunction in the pressure-controlled gate system at BMC's Pise water supply plant.
"The pneumatic gate system installed at Pise, which supplies water to BMC has malfunctioned today (30th November 2024). The repair work of this gate will take place between December 1-2, 2024. Due to this work, 10% water cut will be imposed in the Mumbai City and Suburbs during December 1 to 5 2024," said the civic body in a statement.

🚰Due to this work, 10% water cut will be imposed in the Mumbai City…
Therefore, citizens are requested to use water sparingly during this period and cooperate with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, civic officials added.
For the unversed, water to Mumbai city and suburbs is primarily sourced from the Vaitarna dam.Last month, the civic body announced a 5-10 per cent water cut across Mumbai from October 17 to October 18 citing a glitch in a valve on a pipeline in Thane district. A BMC release said that a 900-mm valve of the Vaitarna pipeline at Tarali in the neighbouring district has malfunctioned, necessitating the partial shutdown of the water supply system.
