The water supply in parts of Mumbai has been reportedly affected due to some fault at the Pise pumping station in the neighbouring Thane district in Maharashtra, prompting the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to appeal to citizens to use water judiciously, reported the PTI.

"13 out of 20 water pumps were shut due to some fault developed in machinery at around 2.50 pm. Since then, work has been undertaken to restart the pumps on a war footing," the BMC stated in a release, as per the PTI.
