Due to sufficient lake levels, there will be no water cuts in the city till the next monsoon, said the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

Officials had said that the non-monsoons period calculated by the hydraulic engineer department is from October 1 to June 15 and the dry patch in August was a cause for concern.However, between 6am on September 24 to 6 am on September 25, various lakes received rainfall in double digits.
