In a significant development for residents of Bhiwandi-Nizampur in Maharashtra, the municipal administration has announced a complete suspension of water supply for two days due to essential maintenance work.
According to the Bhiwandi-Nizampur Municipal Corporation (BNMC), water supply across several parts of the city will remain shut on April 11 and April 12. The shutdown is being undertaken by the civic body’s Stem Water Supply Authority as part of routine and pre-monsoon maintenance and repair works aimed at preventing disruptions during the rainy season.
Officials said the maintenance exercise, which had earlier been scheduled for April 8 and 9, was postponed and will now be carried out this week. During the shutdown period, water supply through
the Stem network will be completely halted across the Bhiwandi-Nizampur municipal area.
The administration has also cautioned that even after the resumption of supply on April 12, residents may face low water pressure and irregular supply for the following 24 hours.
A wide range of localities are expected to be affected by the disruption, including Mamta Tank, Charvidra Village, Patel Nagar, Bala Compound, Faridbagh, Sangampada, Kacheripada, Brahmanaali, Kasaraali, Bhavenagar, Kombadpada, Adarsh Park, Ajaynagar, Nazrana Compound, Gokulnagar, Indiranagar, Kalyan Road, Teen Batti, Shivajinagar Staff Quarters, Khadkaroad, Gurucharanpada, Ajmernagar, Sainath Society, Anjurphata, Devjinagar, Narpoli, Vitthalnagar, Nizampura, Islampura, Mhada Colony, Shastrinagar, Nehrunagar, Millatnagar, Kaneri, Gauripada, Ashoknagar, Kotargate, Qureshnagar, Bhadwad, Temghar, among several other areas.
Sandeep Patnavar, acting executive engineer of BNMC’s water supply department, has urged residents to store sufficient water for at least 2-3 days in advance. He also appealed to citizens to cooperate with the authorities to ensure the smooth completion of the maintenance work.
The civic body emphasised that the pre-monsoon repairs are crucial to strengthen the water distribution system and minimise the risk of breakdowns during heavy rains.
