The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) alerted of a no water supply or reduced water supply at Mumbai’s Juhu, Khar, Santacruz, Vile Parle, and Andheri on Tuesday, July 13.
In a statement released on Saturday, the BMC said, “Technical difficulties had arisen in some areas of H-West, K-East and K-West in the western suburbs. In this connection, necessary technical measures are being taken to ensure smooth water supply. Under this, the water supply valve (butterfly valve) will be replaced on July 13, 2021.
Due to this, water supply in Juhu, Vile Parle, Santacruz and Khar (West), Andheri (East and West) areas of H-West, K-East and K-West will be cut off or at low pressure on July 13, 2021.” The civic body will be replacing the 1,200-mm-diameter valve at the Bandra outlet of Part 2 of Veravalli Reservoir 3 on Tuesday between 10 am and 10 pm.
The BMC has urged residents of these areas to use water sparingly. “On July 13, from 10am to 10pm water supply in some areas of Juhu, Vile Parle, Santacruz, Khar, Andheri will be cut off or will be done at low pressure. This one-day change is being made to streamline the water supply in these areas. We humbly request citizens to cooperate !” it said on Twitter.
