Water supply has been fully restored to Santacruz chawl, accompanied by the BMC's commitment to consistently supply water for those who faithfully pay their water bill. The residents were surprised to receive the water at 4 am, which was not the case earlier as per the residents.

Confirming the development, BMC officer Sudhir Jadhav stated a day after mid-day's report, that they are prepared to address the losses faced by residents of Subramanium Chawl, Shiv Shankar Chawl, and LBS Nagar, who adhere to timely water bill payments. Despite enduring issues of receiving black, pungently smelling water from the nullah—often laden with particles for consumption—and even those who pay but seldom receive it, residents continue to pay their water bills. They fear that if they stop payments, the BMC might demand all pending dues at once, causing financial strain or even a supply cut.
