The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has declared that water service will be disrupted in specific sections of the K East and K West divisions from 8 pm on Thursday, September 19, 2024, to 2 p.m. on Friday, September 20, 2024. This disruption is caused by the replacement of four valves on the 750 mm diameter Parle-Versova outlet at Veravali Reservoir-2 in the East Zone.

"Due to the replacement of valves on the Nigam Channel, the water supply in the K East and K West wards will be closed from Thursday, September 19, 2024, at 8:00 PM to Friday, September 20, 2024, at 2:00 PM," the BMC said in their statement.
