BMC asks citizens to boil drinking water after restoration of flood-hit filtration plant at Bhandup

As heavy rains over the last two days had led to flooding in the water purification complex at Bhandup, on Sunday, July 18, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) informed citizens to boil water before drinking.

The filtration and pumping plants at Bhandup Water Purification Complex had to be shut due to flooding, following the incessant rains.

Moreover, due to this, the water supply in most parts of the Mumbai metropolitan area was disrupted.

According to an official statement, the civic body worked on war footing to pump out water from the plant and repaired it.

The system in the Bhandup complex is functioning step by step and the water supply is restored. Once again, the municipal administration is appealing to the citizens of Mumbai to boil water and drink it after the water supply is restored, BMC said.

We regret the inconvenience caused by the water supply disruption. We request Mumbaikars to kindly cooperate. Kindly boil the water before consuming, once water supply is restored.
