Focus on Monsoon Preparedness
According to NMMC officials, the shutdown is a proactive measure to prevent pipeline bursts and leakage issues during the upcoming rainy season.

"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," the NMMC said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
