The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced a temporary 5 per cent reduction in water supply across several parts of the city and eastern suburbs from April 20 to April 27, 2026, due to essential maintenance work on key water tunnels.
According to the BMC, the work will involve charging, flushing, chlorination, and dechlorination of Water Tunnel No. 1 (AMT-1) and Water Tunnel No. 2 (AMT-2), both of which play a crucial role in Mumbai’s water distribution network.
The BMC has appealed to residents in the affected areas to use water judiciously and cooperate with the administration during the maintenance period.
Officials emphasised that the reduction is temporary and aimed at improving the overall reliability of Mumbai’s water infrastructure.
The operation will impact several key areas, including residential zones, commercial pockets, hospitals, and government offices.
