Event

Officials announced water supply outages for parts of Pune, Maharashtra Oct. 13 due to electrical and civil works. Affected areas will include Hadapsar, Manjari, Sinhagad, and Vadgaon Sheri. Authorities claim water supply will resume with low pressure from the morning of Oct. 14, though delays in service resumption are possible.

Authorities will provide water tankers; residents also typically rely on private water suppliers during outages. Some business disruptions are possible, especially for companies that rely on large quantities of municipal water to maintain operations.

Pressure and water quality may be poor after service resumes; run taps for several minutes before using water. Use only bottled water from reputable suppliers for drinking and hygienic purposes.
