Several parts of Thane will face a complete water supply shutdown for 12 hours on Friday, January 2, after a major valve on the city’s water supply network developed a fault, the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) said on Wednesday.

According to the civic body, a 700-mm diameter valve on the main water pipeline at Haridas Nagar, which supplies water to the Ghodbunder Road area, has malfunctioned, disrupting water supply in the region. The valve needs urgent replacement, prompting the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) and the Shahad–Temghar water supply authority to schedule a shutdown of the water supply scheme.
