The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to visit a site proposed by residents of Malabar Hill for the construction of the additional tank required to maintain an uninterrupted supply of water to parts of Mumbai during the repairs of the over-century-old Malabar Hill reservoir. Residents will also participate in the site visits with BMC officials that are planned for the coming week. Additionally, a round of discussions will be held with residents to facilitate the project.

Abhijit Bangar, additional municipal commissioner in charge of the hydraulics department, told mid-day on Thursday, “The citizens suggested a site for the alternate tank. BMC officials will visit the location and verify the feasibility of constructing the additional water tank on this location.”

The decision was taken in a meeting of the residents with Maharashtra Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, and MLA of Malabar Hill, Mangal Prabhat Lodha and BMC officials on Wednesday.
