Mumbai's civic body announced the suspension of water supply for the next 24 hours in the southern parts of the city starting Wednesday, May 28. The body said it will replace an old water channel at Dockyard Road during this period. As per the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the water cut will affect the A, B, and E wards of the city, and a 50% cut will also be witnessed in some areas.
The work to replace the water channel at Dockyard Road will be carried out at around 10 am today, May 28, until 10 am on Thursday, May 29. The civic body requests the Mumbaikars in the area to use water judiciously during this period.
BMC planned to close the old 1,200-millimetre water channel at Dockyard Road’s Navanagar to pave the way for the operationalisation of a new channel. As a result, the water supply in E War will be disrupted. The old 900-mm gate at Bhandarwada reservoir will be removed, and a new gate will be installed.
