18-hour water cut scheduled in T ward for pipeline diversion

Overview

  • The BMC will suspend water supply to Mulund’s T ward from 10 am on August 21 to 4 am on August 22 to realign a 1,200 mm transmission main ahead of bridge piling.
  • The pipeline diversion is intended to protect the main from damage during construction of a key bridge for the Rs 6,500-crore GoregaonMulund Link Road.
  • Affected zones include stretches along the GoregaonMulund Link Road, Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg, Jawaharlal Nehru Marg, Devidayal Marg, Nahur Gaon and surrounding areas.
  • Authorities have urged residents to stock sufficient water in advance and to boil or filter tap supply for up to five days after service is restored.
  • This realignment is one element of broader utility shifts supporting GMLR’s tunneling and bridge works, with further planned disruptions likely as the project advances.
