Water cuts to affect 8 wards

Water cuts for 24 hours or low water pressure will affect nearly one third of Mumbai's wards due to repairs on a burst pipe in the city.

Starting 8:30am today, nearly one third of the city’s wards will face water cuts for 24 hours or receive water with low pressure or for less time. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said the water cut is being implemented in 8 out of 25 wards in the city. This is being done to repair the 1800mm pipe of the Veravali reservoir in Seepz, Andheri east, which burst on Thursday night due to ongoing metro works.
