Attention, Thanekars! 50% Cut in Water Supply Till December 15 - Details Inside

The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has announced a 50 per cent cut in the water supply for the next four days due to main water pipeline being damaged in the city.

According to Thane Municipal Corporation's Water Supply Department, the 1000 mm diameter pipeline, which carries water from the Pise Dam to the Temghar Water Treatment Plant, developed a fresh fault near Kalyan Phata on Thursday, December 11, during ongoing work by Mahanagar Gas.

Officials further stated that the repair work are underway and has been initiated on priority. However, due to the pipeline’s age and its prestressed concrete construction, the process is expected to take at least four days to complete.

The zone-wise 12-hour supply will be provided until December 15.

Officials warned that residents should expect reduced pressure and irregular supply during this period.

The Municipal Corporation has appealed to citizens to use water sparingly and extend cooperation to the municipal administration as repair efforts continue.

It is pertinent to note that the main water pipeline coming from the Pise Water Purification Centre, which supplies water to Thane civic body was been damaged for the last two to three days, causing a shortage of water in the city.

Despite this, municipal sources informed that as many as 201 tanker trips have been made in the last three days.

Thane city, which has a population of 27 lakh, requires 621 million liters of water every day. However, only 585 million liters of water is actually available.

Moreover, due to population growth and new settlements, the city continues to face the problem of water shortage. The Municipal Corporation is also making efforts to get additional water.
