In view of the possibility of a delayed onset of monsoon and to safeguard drinking water supplies, the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) has announced fresh water cuts in various areas.
These measures are being taken as per the instructions of the state's Water Resources Department.

As per this decision, water supply from KDMC's Netivali, Barave and Mohili water treatment plants will be closed for 24 hours on certain days.
