Thane, June 16: The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has announced a 24-hour complete shutdown of water supply in several key areas of the city starting from midday on Thursday, June 18, 2026.
The water cut is being implemented as a strategic precautionary measure due to a projected delay in the arrival of the monsoon, triggered by the climate impacts of El Niño and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD).
According to the Public Relations Department of the TMC, the decision follows a high-level review meeting held with the Water Resources Department on June 9, 2026.
To prevent severe water scarcity in the upcoming months, authorities have decided to enforce a mandatory 20 per cent reduction in the city's water supply.
As part of this conservation initiative, the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) will completely halt supply from its Jambhul water treatment plant for maintenance and supply management.
