Overview
- The 1,000 mm pipeline from Pise Weir to the Temghar treatment plant ruptured near Kalyan Phata on December 6 during Mahanagar Gas work, according to TMC officials.
- Thane’s 30% reduction takes effect from December 9, with zonal distribution planned through December 11 and advisories to store water and use it sparingly.
- Repair teams say the old prestressed-concrete pipe needs additional time to restore, with roughly three more days expected to stabilize supply.
- Residents and businesses should expect intermittent supply and low pressure that will disrupt routine operations across the city.
- In separate works, BMC executed an eight-hour shutdown on December 7 in M East and M West and announced a 15% cut across 17 Mumbai wards until Tuesday during Tansa–Bhandup system upgrades.
