We have had a robust monsoon, so it is justifiable that Charkop residents are complaining that while the city has been receiving water uninterruptedly, they, for several years, have been facing water supply cuts. The area, which comprises chawls and housing societies, is facing problems due to corroded pipelines, increased population and use of private pumps.

There are nine sectors in Charkop, out of which Sectors 1 and 2 come under R South ward and the rest are under R Central ward. Residents claim that while the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation replaced the water pipelines in Sectors 1 and 2 with those with double capacity, the other sectors have the same old, corroded pipes.
