The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Friday announced that there will be a temporary water supply cut for 30-hours in parts of Mumbai on February 5 and 6, the officials said.
The areas including S, L, K East, H East, and G North wards of BMC will be affected during the period, they said.
The disruption will take place from 11 am on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, to 5 pm on Thursday, February 6, the BMC said.
According to the BMC, the water cut is due to the activation of a new 2400 mm diameter water pipeline between Powai Anchor Block and Maroshi Water Tunnel.
