Overview
- Following Thursday's planned shutdown to fit flow meters, a delayed 2000 mm unit on the Khadakwasla–Parvati line pushed restoration into Friday and left many neighbourhoods dry.
- Crews completed 45 works, including replacing a long-faulty 1600 mm isolation valve on the Khadakwasla–Warje route and a 3000 mm outlet valve at the dam, to allow targeted repairs without citywide closures.
- Most plants and pump houses restarted in phases, though Parvati New trailed due to leakage near the work site, and several areas reported low pressure through the evening.
- With homes depending on private tankers, corporators demanded accountability and proposed reimbursing societies for tanker costs as residents queued and complained of poor updates.
- PMC is drafting rules to register tankers, disclose water sources, and fit GPS and cameras, while officials set May 15 to begin piped supply for about 1.5 lakh people in NIBM Annexe, Mohammadwadi and Undri.
