In a move to facilitate infrastructure upgrades, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced an 18-hour water supply suspension across parts of south and central Mumbai. The shutdown will
take place from 10 am on Thursday, April 16, until 4 am on Friday, April 17.
According to a report in Indian Express, the disruption will affect A, B, C, E and F/South wards, where water supply will be completely halted, while some adjoining areas may experience low water pressure.
Valve Installation Work In Sewri
The planned shutdown is necessary for the installation of two new 1,500 mm diameter valves on the tunnel connected to the Bhandarwada Hill reservoir channel in Sewri. The work will be carried out along Hajibunder Road in the F/South ward.
Once completed, the upgrade is expected to significantly improve the distribution of water from key reservoirs located at Bhandarwada Hill, Fosberry Hill and Golanji Hill, thereby enhancing overall supply efficiency in the city.
