The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) announced a 24-hour water outage on Monday, January 30, due to Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation's (MIDC) maintenance work.
According to an official statement issued by MIDC, this work is being carried out to upgrade and strengthen the Jambhul water treatment plant.
"In order to make some additions to the first phase of this work, on Monday, January 30, 2023, from 12 p.m. to Tuesday, January 31, a shutdown will be conducted until 12 p.m. As a result, the water supply will be shut off for 24 hours during this period," the order further added.
Water service will be interrupted in the Thane Municipal Corporation's Diva Ward Committee and Mumbra Ward Committee areas from Mumbra Bypass to Muna Firebridge (Kismat Colony, Chand Nagar, MM Valley) during this time.
The letter also mentioned that due to the above-mentioned shutdown, there is the possibility of a low-pressure water supply for the next 1 to 2 days until the water supply is restored. As a result, the civic body has advised people to store water properly.
The MIDC had previously announced that the water supply to most cities and industrial estates in the area would be cut off on Friday owing to planned technical work at the Jambhul treatment plant. However, it was later postponed.
