The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has imposed a 15% water cut across 14 wards for 24 hours due to ongoing replacement work of the water pipeline supplying the Bhandup Water Treatment Plant.
The water supply will remain disrupted from 10 am on December 3 to 10 am on December 4.
The work involves replacing the 2,750 mm diameter Tansa pipeline that supplies water from the Tansa lake to the Bhandup Water Treatment Plant. Several operations, including the removal of the old pipeline and installation of the new one, are planned, which will require approximately 24 hours to complete.
