Check your area: These five Mumbai wards may face water disruption from January 20 to 22

As many as five municipal wards in central Mumbai and the eastern and western suburbs are set to witness low water pressure for three days as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) takes up maintenance work in one of the city’s supply divisions.

According to civic officials, the maintenance work will be carried out from 9 am on January 20 to 5 pm on January 22, and during this 44-hour period, water will be supplied at low pressure, leading to a cut in the overall quantum of water supplied.

Civic officials said the disruption in supply will be caused as a portion of the 2,400-mm main water pipeline that supplies water to Mumbai from the Vaitarna dam will undergo maintenance. The officials said that owing to ongoing Metro works, the main waterway channel was diverted in a new direction. Authorities will now join the newly laid water channel with the existing network to ensure there is no continued disruption in water supply.
