A major leakage was detected on Friday in the 300-mm diameter bypass connection of the 1800-mm diameter water pipeline joint at Milind Nagar in Powai. As a result, the water supply to the Ghatkopar High-Level Reservoir has been completely shut down. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) hydraulic department has initiated repair work on a war footing, which is expected to take approximately 15 hours. Consequently, water supply to some parts of N and L wards will remain suspended until 8 am on Saturday, March 1.
