Mumbai: Parts of Mumbai will face a 10 percent water cut from January 27 to February 7, 2026, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation announced on Friday, January 23. The civic body said the reduction in supply is due to annual maintenance work on the pneumatic gate system at Pise in neighbouring Thane district. According to PTI, the maintenance is necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the water distribution system.
The maintenance work is expected to disrupt water supply across a large part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, affecting most civic wards in the island city and eastern suburbs, officials said. Additionally, several areas under the Thane and Bhiwandi municipal corporations that receive their water supply from the BMC are also likely to face interruptions.
Furthermore, the civic body has urged residents in the affected areas to use water judiciously and avoid wastage during the maintenance period.
