Overview
- A temporary clamp on the 900 mm inlet main to the Pali Hill reservoir slipped on Feb. 9, causing heavy leakage that BMC crews contained before proceeding with planned permanent repairs.
- Water supply will be shut in parts of Bandra and Khar on Feb. 10 from 10 a.m. to midnight for the pipeline fix, affecting localities such as Hill Road, Perry Road, Carter Road, Pali Village, Chimbai, Shirley, Kantwadi, Khar Danda, Koliwada and nearby pockets.
- Select areas from the end of Hill Road to Taj Lands End, including B.J. Road, H.K. Bhabha Road, Kane Road and the Ganesh slum area, will receive low-pressure supply between about 1:00 a.m. and 4:30 a.m.
- Separately, parts of M East and M West will face a 30-hour shutdown from 2:00 a.m. on Feb. 12 to 8:00 a.m. on Feb. 13 to install a 1,200 mm sluice valve at the Turbhe Low Level Reservoir and link an inlet main to the AMT-II tunnel shaft.
- Affected eastern areas include refinery colonies and neighborhoods in Govandi, Chembur, Mahul and surrounding zones, with the BMC advising residents to store water, use it sparingly and boil or filter drinking water after supply resumes; helpline 1916 is available for updates.
