Heavy rainfall in the Bhatasa Dam catchment area has led to a significant accumulation of silt, debris, and tree branches in the riverbed near Thane Municipal Corporation’s Pise Pumping Station. This has hindered the station’s ability to operate at full capacity over the past two days.

The increased turbidity of the water has also affected the purification process, resulting in a reduced water supply across the Thane Municipal area. Authorities have informed residents that water distribution will remain limited and irregular until Tuesday (September 30).
