The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has announced a 24-hour water supply shutdown in several parts of the city on Saturday, November 1, to carry out essential infrastructure work aimed at improving the city’s water distribution network.
The disruption is necessary to commission a newly laid 1,168 mm diameter water main connected to the Indiranagar pump — a key component of Thane’s water supply system.
According to the civic body, the shutdown will impact areas under the Vartak Nagar and Lokmanya Savarkar Nagar ward committees.
To facilitate the integration work, the TMC’s water supply department will also install a valve on the 750 mm main pipeline at Nitin Company Junction. As a result, water supply will remain completely suspended for 24 hours from 9 am on Saturday, November 1, to 9 am on Sunday, November 2.
Areas likely to be affected include Indiranagar, Srinagar, Waralipada, Kailasnagar Reno Tank, Rupadevi, Rupadevi Reno Tank, Ramnagar, Yeoor Air Force area, and Lokmanya area.
TMC officials have cautioned that once the connection work is completed and supply resumes, residents may experience low water pressure for one to two days as the system stabilises. The civic body has urged citizens to store adequate water in advance and use it judiciously during the shutdown.
The commissioning of the new 1,168 mm water main forms part of TMC’s broader efforts to modernise Thane’s water infrastructure and ensure equitable distribution across the city.
