The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in an official statement said that there will be a 10 percent water cut in several parts of Mumbai city and the eastern suburbs from Tuesday, January 27, to Saturday, February 7. 

The water cut will be imposed for the annual maintenance work of the ‘pneumatic gate system’, as per BMC.  The statement issued by the civic authorities on Friday further highlighted that the maintenance work is essential for ensuring the smooth and safe functioning of the water supply system that caters to the city. As a result, water supply to most administrative wards in the city and eastern suburbs will be affected during the scheduled period.
