The Barvi dam is responsible for providing water to municipal bodies in Thane such as Thane, Ullasnagar, Mira-Bhayender, Kalyan-Dombivli, and Ambernath. Grampamchayats in the district as well as industrial areas such as Thane, Badlapur, Dombivli, and Ambernath also get their water from the Barvi dam. 

The repair work, undertaken by Maharashtra Industrial Developmental Corporation will also lead to lower pressure in the water supply for the next two days. The authorities have informed the district's municipal bodies and industrial pockets about the same. Under the MIDC's water supply scheme, the Barvi line from Katai Naka to Shil Taki needs urgent repairs. Areas such as Wagle Estate, TTC industrial area, Mira-Bhayender Municipal Corporation, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, and TMC which fall between Katai to Thane will suffer from water loss.
