Several areas in Bhandup will get no municipal water between Wednesday and Thursday as the BMC plans to replace a 4-km stretch of a British-era pipeline that brings water to the city from Tansa reservoir. The existing 1.800 mm diametre pipeline will make way for a 2400-mm pipe for better supply in future, said civic officials.

The upgrade will also lead to low pressure between Andheri East and Bandra Kurla Complex, Kurla, Dadar and Dharavi. The civic body has appealed to citizens in these areas to store water the previous day and use it judiciously.
