According to a statement from the NMMC, "Essential works on the main water pipeline, valve installation, pipeline connections, as well as pre-monsoon repair works will be undertaken, due to which the water supply will be disrupted for 24 hours in some areas of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation jurisdiction."

List of Affected Areas Due to Water Cut

The disruption will impact a significant portion of the municipal jurisdiction, including both residential and commercial hubs. The areas facing a total shutdown include Belapur, Nerul, Vashi, Turbhe, Sanpada, Kopar Khairane, Ghansoli, Airoli, Kharghar, and Kamothe. Following the restoration of supply on the morning of Thursday, May 14, the civic body warned that residents might still experience low-pressure water flow through the evening as the system re-stabilises.

Pre-Monsoon Preparedness

The scheduled maintenance is part of the NMMC's annual pre-monsoon protocol. These repairs are intended to prevent pipeline bursts and leakage issues that frequently occur during the heavy rains in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. By installing new valves and strengthening connections now, the corporation aims to ensure a more resilient supply during the peak monsoon months. Mumbai Water Cut News: BMC Announces 10% Water Cut Starting May 15 Due to El Niño Concerns.
