On Tuesday, water supply was suspended in areas of K East, K West and P South wards for the laying of a new water line between the Versova outlet on Mahakali Road and the junction of Cardinal Grecius Road and BD Savant Road.The BMC officials have alerted the citizens living in the affected wards to use water sparingly during this period and have also emphasised the importance of conservation efforts to mitigate the inconveniences caused by this necessary maintenance work.The repair project, undertaken by the BMC, involves the replacement of a 900 mm-diameter water channel and the repair of water channels ranging from 300 mm to 1800 mm-diameter. The infrastructure improvements are crucial to ensuring the long-term reliability and efficiency of Mumbai's water supply system.
