Overview
- Thane remains on a 30% water supply reduction after a 1,000 mm Pise–Temghar main was damaged on December 6 near Kalyan Phata, with zonal distribution in place through December 11 as repairs continue on the prestressed‑concrete line.
- BMC on December 9 completed a challenging 2,750 mm pipeline replacement feeding the Bhandup Water Treatment Plant, a roughly 28‑hour operation that temporarily cut supply by about 15% across 17 wards.
- From 9 am December 12 to 9 am December 13, BMC will suspend water in parts of K/East, H/East and G/North, affecting areas including Dharavi, Andheri East and BKC, with advisories to store water and boil or filter as a precaution.
- Traffic diversions have been announced for Gaimukh/Ghodbunder Road from December 12–14 and across Kalyan–Dombivli routes through December 21 to facilitate road and pipeline works, with heavy‑vehicle restrictions and alternate corridors notified.
- Officials say the upgrades, including upsizing work near Gundavli in Bhiwandi to a 3,000 mm conduit, aim to boost long‑term capacity and reliability, and they urge residents to conserve water and cooperate with crews.
