Water department officials say the water stock in the live storage has gone down to 71,017 million litres, but an additional reserve stock from Bhatsa is keeping the city afloat without additional water cuts

Representational picture
Monsoon has officially arrived in the city, but wait, it's not yet time to shrug off our water supply concerns. Officials from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) are of the opinion that water levels in the city's lakes would show a rising trend from this weekend, provided it continues to rain. While on the first day of monsoon, the Tulsi and Vihar Lakes received 43 mm and 90 mm of rain, respectively, the other major water supplying lakes – Upper Vaitarna and Bhatsa – received 110 mm and 125 mm of rainfall till Friday morning.
