Thane: The Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) has announced a 24-hour suspension of water supply from the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) to parts of Mira-Bhayandar city starting Thursday, May 7.
According to the civic body’s Water Supply and Sewerage Department, supply from the Barvi Water Treatment Plant at Jambhul will be halted from 12 pm on May 7 to 12 pm on May 8. However, water supplied through the STEM Authority will continue during this period, though residents may face low pressure and delayed supply.
Officials stated the decision was taken following a meeting with the Water Resources Department on April 23, amid concerns of a potentially delayed monsoon, as reported by Mid-day. The civic body cited the impact of El Nino and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) as key factors that could affect rainfall, prompting precautionary measures to prevent future water shortages.
As per MBMC data, the city received a total of 199.383 million litres per day (MLD) of water on May 5, including 117.057 MLD from MIDC and 82.326 MLD from the STEM Authority. The civic body has appealed to residents to use water judiciously and cooperate during the temporary disruption.
