The Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) has announced a planned 24-hour suspension of water supply from the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), effective Thursday, May 7. The disruption is part of a series of precautionary measures designed to manage water reserves ahead of a projected delay in the monsoon season. The shutdown will affect parts of the city from 12:00 PM on Thursday until 12:00 PM on Friday, May 8.
Affected Areas Due to Water Cut and Supply Sources
According to the MBMC's Water Supply and Sewerage Department, the suspension will halt flow from the Barvi Water Treatment Plant located at Jambhul.

Civic officials have cautioned that although the STEM supply remains active, residents should expect low water pressure and potential delivery delays until the MIDC system is fully restored on Friday afternoon.
Preventive Measures for Monsoon Delays
The decision to implement the cut follows a high-level meeting between the MBMC and the Water Resources Department held on April 23. Experts have expressed concerns that El Niño conditions and a fluctuating Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) could lead to a late arrival of the 2026 monsoon. By introducing periodic shutdowns now, the corporation aims to preserve existing reservoir levels and prevent more severe water scarcity in the coming months.
