Meanwhile, despite the installation of a new water pipeline by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation in Dr Subramaniam Nagar of the H-East ward Santacruz, residents continue to grapple with poor water quality and erratic supply timings.
According to the locals, the poor water quality has not only inconvenienced the residents but has also given rise to a host of health issues. The locals in the area have been reporting an increase in skin-related issues and waterborne diseases such as diarrhea and dysentery.
As per the mid-day report, many locals have resorted to purchasing bottled water regularly to meet their basic needs, further straining their finances.
The BMC's initiative to enhance the water supply infrastructure in Dr Subramaniam Nagar was anticipated to lead to substantial enhancements in both the quality and dependability of water distribution.
