Mumbai Water Cut: BMC Announces 12 To 14-Hour Disruption Starting Today – Check The Affected Areas

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced a temporary disruption in the water supply in parts of T Ward following damage to a 750mm diameter main water pipeline in Mulund East. The water cut will begin on Tuesday and will continue until the repair work is completed, according to a Midday report.

The BMC's Public Relations Department stated that the damage occurred on Monday during micro-tunnelling work conducted by the Sewage Project Department. The water pipeline, located beneath the nala (drain) at Hari Om Nagar and MHADA Colony in Mulund East, was significantly damaged, causing major leakage. This resulted in a disruption to the regular water supply in the area.

To ensure a swift resolution of the issue, the Assistant Engineer (Waterworks), Maintenance Eastern Suburbs, Ghatkopar, has taken charge of the repair work. The BMC is working to complete the repairs as quickly as possible, estimating that it will take about 12 to 14 hours to restore the water supply to normal.

Areas Affected

The following areas in T Ward will experience a water supply disruption until the repairs are finished:

• Mulund East (Area east of the Eastern Express Highway, including MHADA Colony and Hari Om Nagar)
• Mulund East (Area west of the Eastern Express Highway up to Mulund Station)

The BMC has urged residents in the affected areas to use water sparingly and cooperate with the municipal administration during the repair period. The corporation has also assured that efforts are being made to restore the water supply at the earliest. Residents are advised to plan accordingly and make use of stored water while the repairs are underway.

The BMC has expressed its apologies for the inconvenience caused and appreciates the cooperation of the public during this time.
