Thousands of citizens are facing a water supply issue due to the goof- up between two government agencies u2014 the BMC and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority ( MMRDA). The main water pipeline that supplies water to Veravali reservoir, was damaged during the ongoing work for metro line . at u0090 ogeshwari- Vikhroli Link Road near Hill Crest building on Wednesday evening. The area from u0090 ogeshwari to Bandra gets water supply from Veravali reservoir and the residents and commercial establishments here, are facing water scarcity from Thursday. Even residents of Ghatkopar and Kurla did not receive water.
The . u009d - inch ( . , u00a1 u00a2 u00a2 mm diameter) pipeline was repaired after three days at night on Saturday and the BMC administration assured that the water supply would resume on Sunday. But residents, who hoped to complete all pending household chores on the weekend, were disappointed as the pressure of the water was very low and even the supply timings were reduced.
Water woes continue u201c The water supply resumed on Sunday but the water pressure was a lot less than usual. Water is about u00a3 u00a2 per cent of usual supply or less than that. Now we might need to arrange for another tanker of water,u201d said Raji Chacko, a resident of Four Bungalows.

K west ward informed residents from their Twitter handle that the water pressure issue will remain for a few more days and tankers have been arranged by them.
