The water supply in Mumbai will be affected in several areas between January 20 and January 21. In some localities, water will be supplied at low pressure, while in others it will be completely shut off. This disruption is due to infrastructure work related to the Metro 7A project.
Water supply in Mumbai will be affected from 20 January
For the Metro 7A project, a section of the 2,400 mm diameter Upper Vaitarna main water pipeline has been diverted. In addition, cross-connection work of the diverted main pipeline in the K East ward will be carried out during this period. As a result, the water supply in Mumbai will be impacted from January 20 onwards for approximately 44 hours. According to a revised schedule, changes have been made to water distribution, leading to reduced pressure in some areas and complete shutdowns in others.
Due to the extension and diversion of the Upper Vaitarna main pipeline for the metro project, the water supply in Mumbai will mainly be affected in areas such as Andheri East (K East ward), parts of S Ward including Vikhroli and Bhandup, Bandra Kurla Complex, Vikhroli West, Dadar, Prabhadevi, and Mahim.
