Of this, 10 per cent was withdrawn from August 21, when the stock reached 85 per cent.
The active monsoon has brought much relief as the stock increased from 37 per cent to 95 per cent within 23 days. This is probably the shortest water cut duration for the city. In 2014, the corporation had imposed a 20 per cent water cut in July and restored water supply in September.
