Those residing on the Jogeshwari-Santacruz stretch did not get their daily water supply on Thursday morning. Later in the day, it emerged that the pipeline supplying water to the area from the Veravali reservoir near Mahakali caves was damaged the previous evening during piling work of Metro line 6. While the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has blamed the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) for the problem, the latter is of the opinion that the underground utilities map provided by the civic body might be a faulty one. The map shows the 1,800 mm diameter pipeline to be on the right side of JVLR while the Metro work was being done on the left side.

Even though workers from BMC's water department rushed to the spot and started repair work immediately, they said it would take 24 hours to restore water supply and that it might be done by Friday morning.
