Around the end of July, BMC lakes had only about 34 per cent of the full capacity, which was a worrisome situation. This is why the daily water supply was cut by 20 per cent from August 5.

All water supplying lakes have 95 per cent water reserve of the full capacity as of August 28. 

The catchment areas of the dams have received good rainfall in the past 25 days.

According to the information provided by the BMC, the cumulative water storage of seven dams- Tulsi, Tansa, Vihar, Bhatsa, Modak Sagar, Upper Vaitarna, and Middle Vaitarna stood 95 percent as on Friday.

The Tusli , Tansa, Vihar and Modak Sagar lakes are overflowing while remaining dams are almost full. 

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had decided to reduce the current 20 percent water cut to 10 percent from August 21.

Now after the dams are 95 percent full the water cut will be canceled entirely from Saturday.
