Residents across most of Navi Mumbai will face a total suspension of water services on Wednesday, April 22. The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has scheduled a 12-hour shutdown to facilitate critical infrastructure upgrades and pipeline maintenance. The civic body also cautioned that even after service resumes, supply is expected to remain at low pressure through Thursday, April 23.
Schedule and Nature of Maintenance Due to Water Cut
The water cut is slated to begin at 10:00 AM and conclude at 10:00 PM on Wednesday.

Areas Facing Water Supply Shutdown on April 22
The shutdown will affect nearly all major residential and commercial hubs under the NMMC's jurisdiction. The primary areas facing a total dry-out on Wednesday evening include:
- Belapur and Nerul

Supply Outlook for Thursday, April 23
While the technical work is expected to conclude by late Wednesday night, the NMMC Water Supply Department clarified that the system will take time to reach full pressure. Consequently, both the morning and evening supply cycles on Thursday, April 23, will be delivered at reduced pressure. The NMMC has issued an advisory urging residents to store sufficient water in advance and to use their existing reserves sparingly. This maintenance is part of the city's broader effort to modernise its ageing pipeline network and prevent unplanned leakages in the future.
