Morbe Dam Pipeline Leak Disrupts Navi Mumbai Water Supply
There was a big leak in the main water pipe that brings water from Morbe Dam to Navi Mumbai.
The city's water department had to stop the water treatment plant for a few hours to fix the leak.
Because of this, the water supply in the evening was less and at low pressure in some areas.
The water department asked people to use less water during this time.
The morning water supply will be back to normal the next day.
Workers are fixing the leak quickly to make sure everything is okay soon.
A 2050-mm main water pipeline from Morbe Dam leaked near the Bhokarpada Water Treatment Plant.
The NMMC shut down the water treatment plant for 4.30 hours for emergency repairs.
Evening water supply in NMMC area and CIDCO-managed Kharghar and Kamothe was at low pressure and limited quantity.
Morning water supply on Friday will resume as per the regular schedule.
Residents were asked to conserve water during the disruption.
