A large area in the vicinity did not receive water and many housing societies arranged tanker water.
Irfan Machiwala, a civic activist based in Mahim said, "We are getting complaints of the water supply being affected. The BMC needs to make alternative arrangements during such incidents."
Another civic activist Santosh Mishra from Worli said, "The water supply was affected in the area and in such a situation the BMC should make alternative arrangements for people. In this area the water storage capacity is very less and people can store water for only a day. On Tuesday many societies had to call in private water tankers to overcome the water problem."
Meanwhile, last week, a leakage was reported on a major pipeline at Bandra West, which caused water supply disturbances in Bandra and Khar west areas of Mumbai.
