Thane to face 24-hour water supply shutdown for maintenance on May 29

TMC's water supply and STEM Authority will be impacted. Areas affected include Ghodbunder Road, Lokmanya Nagar & parts of Mumbra, Kalwa.

The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has declared a 24-hour water supply halt for necessary pre-monsoon maintenance and repairs. The shutdown will begin at 9:00 am on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, and continue until 9:00 am on Thursday, May 30, 2024.

Both the TMC's water supply and the STEM Authority will be impacted. Ghodbunder Road, Lokmanya Nagar, Vartaknagar, Saket, Ritu Park, Jail, Gandhinagar, Rustamji, Siddhanchal, Indiranagar, Rupadevi, Srinagar, Samtanagar, Siddheshwar, Internity, Johnson, and sections of Mumbra and Kalwa have all been affected.

After the shutdown, households may experience low water pressure for one to two days before the supply is fully restored. The TMC has recommended individuals save enough water to meet their needs and to utilise it carefully at this time.

The TMC has asked citizens for their cooperation and understanding during this critical maintenance work.

"From 9 am on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, Thane Municipal Corporation and the STEM water supply will be shut for necessary pre-monsoon maintenance and repair work until Thursday, May 30, 2024, at 9 am. During the 24-hour shutdown, Ghodbunder Road, Lokmanya Nagar, Vartaknagar, Saket, Ritu Park, Jail, Gandhinagar, Rustamji, Siddhanchal, Indiranagar, Rupadevi, Srinagar, Samtanagar, Siddheshwar, Internity, Johnson, and small areas of Mumbra and Kalwa were all part of Thane Municipal Corporation area shall not receive water," said the Thane civic body in her press statement.

The statement further read, "After the closure, there may be a low-pressure water delivery for one to two days until it is restored. However, the Thane Municipal Corporation has urged inhabitants to conserve water and use it sparingly."

Mumbai to see water cut

Because lake levels are below 10 per cent, the BMC has finally decided to implement a water cut beginning May 30. The civic authority has agreed to undertake a 5 per cent water cut from May 30 and a 10 per cent cut from June 5 as a preventative step to ensure stock lasts as long as possible.

On Thursday, May 23, a news story reported a potential water cut due to insufficient water stock in all seven dams. As of today, the dams hold a total of 1,40,202 million litres of water, accounting for only 9.69 per cent of the overall water stock of 14,47,363 million litres.
