BMC Announces 10% Water Cut in Mumbai for 12 Days
The BMC in Mumbai has announced that there will be a 10% reduction in water supply for 12 days starting from January 27.
This is because they need to do some important maintenance work on a big dam called Pise Dam.
The work will affect many areas in Mumbai, including places like Parel, Matunga, and Mulund.
People in these areas might experience lower water pressure.
The BMC is asking everyone to use water carefully during this time.
The maintenance is necessary to keep the dam working properly and to prevent any water wastage.
The Thane Municipal Corporation will also reduce water supply by 20% for 12 days due to the same reason.
BMC announces 10% water cut in Mumbai's island city and eastern suburbs from January 27 to February 7.
Maintenance work on the pneumatic gate system at Pise Dam is the reason for the water cut.
12 civic wards in Mumbai will be affected, including areas like Parel, Matunga, and Mulund.
Thane will experience a 20% water cut for 12 days due to the same maintenance work.
Civic authorities appeal to citizens to use water carefully during this period.
