The city has been witnessing rain showers for a few days, but the six reservoirs that supply drinking water to the city aren’t sufficiently filled. The water level in three lakes is depleting rapidly, and is just a metre away from reaching the lowest drawable level. This has prompted the BMC to impose a 10 per cent water cut from today. The water cut is likely to last at least another two months.
