The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Tuesday completed the challenging replacement of a 2,750-mm-diameter aging pipeline that supplies water from the Tansa Dam to the Bhandup Water Treatment Plant. The project marks a key milestone in BMC’s ongoing initiative to modernise the city’s aging water infrastructure.

The work, which began on Monday at 10 am was completed by 2 pm on Tuesday, taking approximately 28 hours. The residents of 17 administrative wards cooperated with the civic body by using water judiciously during the process. Following the completion of the work, water supply across these wards is expected to become more consistent and reliable.
