Mumbai Water Cut Ends as BMC Restores Full Supply After Maintenance Work

Mumbai residents are facing a 10 per cent cut in water supply across many areas from January 27 to February 7, as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation carries out planned work on the city’s main distribution system. The civic body has stated that regular supply will return after February 7, once all scheduled tasks are finished.

BMC officials explained that the curbs are linked to annual maintenance of the Pneumatic Gate System at Pise, which manages a key part of Mumbai’s water network. During this period, engineers are also shifting 12 water connections from the ageing Vaitarna pipeline to a larger main pipeline to strengthen future supply.

Mumbai water cut impact on South and central city areas

The 10 per cent Mumbai water cut has hit several neighbourhoods in South Mumbai. The affected locations include the Naval Dockyard belt in A Ward, the entire B Ward, and parts of C Ward such as Bhendi Bazaar, Bohri Mohalla and Ghoghari Mohalla. In central Mumbai, water supply has been reduced in E Ward, F South Ward and F North Ward.

Mumbai water cut effect on eastern suburbs and low pressure

Eastern suburbs have also been dealing with lower water pressure during the Mumbai water cut period. Impacted zones include Mulund East and West, Bhandup, Nahur, Kanjurmarg, and Vikhroli East and West, which fall under S and N Wards. Ghatkopar East, Kurla East, and all areas in M East and M West Wards have reported similar issues.

According to civic engineers, the Mumbai water cut has been in force for 11 days and is expected to end once maintenance and pipeline shifting work are completed on February 7. Officials have confirmed that full, regular water supply will resume after the scheduled operations conclude.
