Also, the newly laid 750 mm diameter water main between Ramdas Naik Marg and Marg No. 32 on RK Patkar Marg in Bandra West will be commissioned. The related work will be done on Friday, August 30 between 10 am and 12 pm. As a result, water supply will be cut off to some areas within the H West Division office limits.
The BMC has taken up works to improve water supply in H West Division. Under this, works such as removal of dilapidated water channels, commissioning of new main water channels etc. will be done. After this work, the level of Pali Hill Reservoir will improve. Overall, there will be improvement in water supply in the H West region. Meanwhile, due to this repair work, the water supply will be interrupted in nearby areas, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marg, Khar Danda etc.
Citizens of the concerned area should store enough water. Also, water will be supplied at regular intervals after the repair work of the water channel is completed.
