The water tunnel—that had been punctured on November 8 last year—has finally been fully repaired. Water supply to the city will be restored 100 per cent from April 23, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has confirmed.

“We completed repairing the tunnel on Tuesday. From Wednesday, we will start recharging the tunnel. After getting a sufficient level of water, supply from the tunnel will start. It will take three to four days more,” an official said. “The repair work and water supply restoration had been estimated to take 30 days. However, the work will be completed in 18 days and water supply restored from April 23,” the official added further.
