The civic body has enforced shutdown at Bhokarpada water treatment plant near Morbe dam to carry out the repairing and maintenance work of the main supply line between Morbe dam and Digha in view of ensuing monsoon.
The citizens of Navi Mumbai are now encountering a day-long non-supply a week with the nodal wise rationing system. Therefore, water cut without making alternate arrangements is troublesome for the people, complained residents.
According to the NMMC report, the dam has just 30 per cent of its stock which can only stretch till the first week of August. In case of late arrival of monsoon, the civic body will prefer further rationing of water supply.
