According to the BMC, a total of 1,40,202 million litres of water is available in the dams that supply water to Mumbai.
The BMC management is closely monitoring the water reserves and is supplying water in a planned manner every day. The water cut will remain in force till satisfactory rainfall is received and the useful stock in the water bodies improves.
“Mumbaikars have no reason to panic. However, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) administration humbly appeals to all citizens to use water judiciously,” said the civic body adding that Mumbai people should adopt water-saving measures, use water judiciously, and cooperate with the municipal administration’s efforts.
Earlier, some media reports, citing IMD officials, predicted that the monsoon rains would likely begin in Mumbai on June 10. However, no official statement about the monsoon’s entry in Mumbai has been released.
The disruption in the supply of water will remain in force till satisfactory and sufficient rainfall is received and the water bodies and reservoirs are filled with the required volume of water.
