In an attempt to make well water available for drinking, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to clean and renovate the wells throughout Mumbai. Accordingly, the civic body has made an allocation of ₹10 lakh for the project.
If everything goes well, the city will receive another viable resource for drinking water. In the meantime, Mumbaikars are facing a 10 per cent water supply cut due to the dams being only filled up to 22 per cent of their total capacity.
While Mumbai has various wells spread across the city, either they are all parched up or are in a devastating condition. At several places, the wells are not suited for drinking water.
Earlier, Corporator Jyoti Khan had laid forward a proposal to clean the dirty wells across Mumbai. In response, BMC Commissioner Ajoy Mehta stated that BMC has allotted a fund of ₹10 lakh to clean wells across Mumbai.
