The water supply department of Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) has announced a 24-hour shutdown on May 26. This development came as the pre-monsoon repair and maintenance work will be carried out by the Shahad Temghar (STEM) Water Authority.
As per official statement by the MBMC, the 24-hour shutdown will begin at 9 am on Friday, May 26 and end at 9 am on Saturday, May 27. Notably, the other provider, Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), will also suspend its services during the same period.
Sharad Nanegokar, Executive Engineer (Water Supply) said, "Though it is a 24-hour shutdown, water supply is expected to be affected for the next few days due to low pressure. Therefore, it is an appeal to residents to not only store water for the day but use it carefully and avoid unnecessary wastage."
Despite a requirement of over 225 MLD, the twin-city is allocated a supply of 221 MLD provided by MIDC (135 MLD) and STEM (86 MLD) combined.
