Thane Water Cut: TMC Announces 24-Hour Supply Shutdown From May 21; Check Affected Areas

Residents in Thane will face a 24-hour water cut later this week. Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) will stop supply from 12 pm on May 21 to 12 pm on May 22. The shutdown is planned for maintenance at the Jambhul Water Filtration Plant. Several important residential and industrial belts will be without regular water.

The civic body has warned that taps may not return to normal pressure immediately. Supply is expected to resume on May 22 afternoon, but with weak flow at first. TMC has urged every household in the affected wards to store enough water in advance and use it carefully during the interruption period.

Thane water cut maintenance work details and civic advisory

During the Thane water cut window, Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) will carry out urgent work. MIDC will conduct maintenance and upgradation on Barvi gravity pipelines 1, 2 and 3. TMC has said the network needs this servicing to keep long-term supply stable. Air pockets in the lines after repairs are expected to cause the initial low pressure.

The municipal administration has directly appealed to residents to plan ahead for the Thane water cut. People have been asked to fill storage tanks and avoid wastage until pressure improves. In a related context, a separate state statement noted, “We Have Not Received Any Complaints Regarding Fuel Unavailability,” Says Chhagan Bhujbal. For now, Thanekars are being urged to manage stored water wisely until full service returns.
