Mumbai water cut: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced a temporary water supply disruption in parts of Andheri, Mumbai. The areas affected fall under the K East and K West divisions, where the water supply will be interrupted from 8 pm on Thursday (September 19) until 2 pm on Friday (September 20.)
Why water cut in parts of Mumbai?
According to BMC, the water supply disruption in parts of Andheri, Mumbai, is due to the BMC replacing four 750 mm valves on the Parle and Versova outlets at the Veravali reservoir II valve gallery. Residents in the affected areas are advised to plan accordingly during the maintenance period. "Due to the replacement of valves on the Nigam Channel, the water supply in the K East and K West wards will be closed from Thursday, September 19, 2024, at 8:00 PM to Friday, September 20, 2024, at 2:00 PM," the BMC said in their statement.
Residents in the affected areas of Andheri are being urged to store sufficient water and use it judiciously during the 18-hour water cut. After the maintenance is completed, the BMC advises filtering and boiling water for drinking and cooking purposes for the next 4 to 5 days to ensure safety, as water quality might be temporarily affected. The water supply is expected to return to its normal schedule once the work is finished.
