The main water pipeline in the Tansa had burst at Mahim creek on November 25. As a result, the water supply in the Bandra West area was affected. Moreover, some areas of Prabhadevi and Dadar also saw water supply hit as hundreds of litres of water was gushing out from the pipeline.
According to reports, the incident occurred near the Western Express Highway (WEH) around 1 am on November 25 and the pipeline is said to have originated from the Eastern side of Tansa Lake and is also known as 'Tansa East main pipeline'.
The officials of BMC's hydraulic engineer department are at the spot and the reason for the leakage is yet to be identified.
The pipeline serves as the main water supply network, which supplies water from the Tansa Lake to the residential areas of Bandra and Khar. Due to the leakage, the water supply to the entire H-West ward (Bandra, Khar, and Santacruz) is affected. However, the water supply would be restored only after the leakage is repaired, said officials.
This is a developing story. More details are awaited.
