The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced a 24-hours water cut in parts of L ward, which covers the Kurla area.
According to a statement released by the BMC, water supply will be completely cut off in some areas of ‘L’ ward from 10 am on Tuesday, May 10, to 10 am on Wednesday, May 11. And, in some areas, the water supply will be under low pressure.
The installation of valves at Sakinaka, in front of the Express Inn Hotel on the 1200mm diameter aqueduct at Kurla (West) in the eastern suburbs of BMC will be undertaken on Tuesday, May 10 the statement further added.
This development comes just a day after the BMC’s Water for All scheme was formally launched by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday, May 7, in Dindoshi.
The true marker of development is equality of access to basic necessities. Keeping this at the core, CM Uddhav Thackeray ji launched the ‘Water for All’ policy today, wherein @mybmc will enable every citizen in Mumbai to have access to clean drinking water through formal sources. pic.twitter.com/D43zbbxeiH

The policy states that the BMC providing a water connection does not entitle a person to claim ownership/title of any property. Such connections are liable to be cut off for failure to maintain them properly. For availing the benefits, one has to submit occupancy proof.
BMC chief Iqbal Chahal said implementation will begin immediately though they have not quantified the beneficiary population yet.
Moreover, last week, water supply was cut off in certain areas of R Central and R North, wards of Mumbai.
