The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced a temporary disruption in the water supply in parts of the T Ward after a 750mm diameter main water pipeline was damaged in Mulund East. The disruption will begin on 18th March 2025 and will continue until repair work is completed.
According to the BMC’s Public Relations Department, the damage occurred on 17th March 2025 during micro-tunnelling work being carried out by the Sewage Project Department. The water pipeline, located beneath the nala (drain) at Hari Om Nagar and MHADA Colony in Mulund East, sustained significant damage, leading to major leakage.
Assistant Engineer (Waterworks), Maintenance Eastern Suburbs, Ghatkopar, has taken charge of the repair work, which is being carried out on a war footing. The BMC estimates that it will take approximately 12 to 14 hours to complete the repair and restore normal water supply.
Areas affected by the water cut
The following areas in T Ward will experience a water supply cut until the repair work is completed:
Mulund East – Area east of the Eastern Express Highway, including MHADA Colony and Hari Om Nagar
Mulund East – Area west of the Eastern Express Highway up to Mulund Station
The BMC has urged residents in the affected areas to use water sparingly and cooperate with the municipal administration during this period.
Water supply to be affected for 30 hours in parts of Mumbai on Feb 5 and 6, says BMC
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Friday announced that there will be a temporary water supply cut for 30-hours in parts of Mumbai on February 5 and 6, the officials said.
The areas including S, L, K East, H East, and G North wards of BMC will be affected during the period, they said.
The disruption will take place from 11 am on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, to 5 pm on Thursday, February 6, the BMC said.
According to the BMC, the water cut is due to the activation of a new 2400 mm diameter water pipeline between Powai Anchor Block and Maroshi Water Tunnel.

“The residents are advised to store enough water in advance before the supply is cut off. During the disruption, people are urged to use water sparingly. After the work is completed, there may be a temporary supply of murky water. For safety, it is recommended that water be filtered and boiled before use,” the BMC said.
