Overview
- Officials confirmed Friday evening that repairs were completed and evening supply was restored, with normal pressure due Saturday, May 9.
- The 1,650 mm pipeline near Famous Studios, which cracked late Wednesday, led the city to shut or reduce supply across D, E and G South wards.
- Areas including Worli, Byculla, Mumbai Central, Grant Road and parts of Tardeo faced cuts, and Nair and Kasturba hospitals were hit by low or no water.
- Crews worked about 15 feet underground for roughly 44 hours, welding seven steel plates to seal the damaged mild‑steel main.
- A hydraulic official linked the failure to nearby storm‑water drain works, and the city urged conservation during an outage that followed planned April 16 and April 30 cuts.
