Executive Engineer of Water Department at KDMC Rajiv Pathak has stated that this water cut is for routine maintenance work and the authorities are alerting residents so that they can store water for their use.
As per a news report in Hindustan Times, officials of water department further said that the water level of Ulhas river dipped on Thursday which in turn has led to a supply shortage in Ulhasnagar and eastern part of Kalyan city. On Friday, the water level increased and supply was normal.
Ulhasnagar, Ambernath, Badlpaur, Kalyan, Thane and Navi Mumbai get water supply from Ulhas river. Every January, the water level of the river reduces which leads to water shortage in most of these cities. Water department officials said that due to the reduction in water level, machinery that lift water at treatment plants get damaged. Hence the repair work is required at treatment plants.
