Areas such as Chikoowadi, Jaun Pada and Gorai will be among those affected.

In a statement issued Friday, the civic body said two 900 mm-diameter aqueducts will be connected to create a new path for water flow, which is expected to improve supply.

“The said activity will be taken up around 1.30 pm on December 4 and will continue till 7.30 am the next day. During this period the water supply to the Kandivali and Borivali areas will be stopped,” the BMC said.

The civic body added that localities such as Thakur Village and Samata Nagar in Kandivali (East), which receive water between 6.25 pm and 8.25 pm daily, will not get any supply on December 4, as the work will begin that afternoon. These areas will receive normal supply again from the evening of December 5.
