India: Water cut planned in Mumbai from December 7-13

Event

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced that a ten percent water cut will be implemented across Mumbai from Saturday, December 7, through at least Friday, December 13, due to major repairs at the Pise Panjarapu water plan in the Thane district. Low water pressure is also to be expected in several areas across the city. Further residual disruption cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Individuals in Mumbai are advised to conserve water, stock up on bottled water, keep abreast of the situation via local media outlets, and adhere to all instructions issued by the local authorities (e.g. water rationing measures).
