While Mumbai civic body is planning to lift the 10% water cut, the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has decided to cut water in some parts of Thane from August 1 until the monsoon subsides.
This water cut will be imposed owing to technical issues at the municipal pumping stations at Pise.
Due to this decision, the water supply to each section will be shut off for 12 hours once in 15 days. With this, there will be a water crisis for residents of Thane and suburbs during the rainy season despite several lakes, which supply water to the city are overflowing. Thane Municipal Corporation draws water for its own scheme from the tank at Pisa of Bhatsa river.
Officials informed that the capacity at the municipal pumping station at Pise has been affected due to accumulation of green waste that flowed in during the heavy rains in the last few days clogging the network.
Simultaneously, there have been few technical snags at the units which has considerably reduced the water pumping.

• Monday - Bramhand, Balkum, 9 am to 9 pm
