Mumbai: BMC announces 24-hour water supply shutdown in parts of city, check details

The water supply would be affected due to laying of a new 1200 mm diameter water pipeline, the civic body said

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Tuesday announced a 24-hour temporary water supply shutdown in parts of N Ward, S Ward, and T Ward of the city from May 24th to May 25th, 2024.

The BMC said that the work of diverting an existing 1200 mm diameter water main along Mulund Goregaon Link Road (GMLR), from Fortis Hospital to Udyog Shetra, Mulund (West), T Ward, is being undertaken by the BMC through the GMLR Department. This diversion is necessary because the 1200 mm diameter water main is infringing on the foundation of the GMLR flyover.

As part of this work, two 1200 x 1200 mm diameter cross connections along GMLR Road are scheduled to be undertaken by the Hydraulic Engineer Department from 11:30 AM on Friday, 24th May 2024 to 11:30 AM on Saturday, 25th May 2024.
