Mumbai Water Pressure Reduced After Fault at Panjrapur Pumping Station

BMC says normal supply is expected to resume later today after emergency repairs.

Overview

  • The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation reported a failure of the 230 V AC contactor on the diesel generator at the 3A Panjrapur facility, which tripped multiple pumps.
  • Engineers are conducting a complete electrical isolation of roughly one hour to replace the damaged component on a priority basis.
  • Water is being supplied at significantly lower pressure in areas served by Panjrapur while the repair is carried out.
  • Tanker services have been placed on standby and residents have been urged to use water judiciously until pressures stabilize.
  • The BMC announced the disruption and repair plan via its official X account, noting Panjrapur’s central role in the city’s distribution network.
