Residents across Navi Mumbai and Panvel are grappling with a significant water disruption that began on Tuesday and will continue until Wednesday evening. The water cut, affecting multiple key areas, has been implemented by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) for essential maintenance work.
What Prompted the Emergency Water Cut?
The sudden disruption stems from urgent repair requirements at the water treatment plant in Morbe. CIDCO authorities identified critical maintenance needs that couldn't be postponed, necessitating this 24-hour shutdown to prevent more extensive service interruptions in the future.
Affected Areas: Complete List
The water supply suspension impacts numerous neighborhoods including:
- Nerul
- Vashi
- Sanpada
- Koparkhairane
- Airoli
- Ghansoli
- Kamothe
- Kharghar
- Kalamboli
- New Panvel
When Will Normal Supply Resume?
According to CIDCO officials, the maintenance work is scheduled for completion by 6 PM today. Residents can expect water supply to gradually normalize starting Wednesday evening, though some areas might experience low pressure initially as the system stabilizes.
Precautionary Measures for Residents
Local authorities have advised residents to:
- Store sufficient water for drinking and essential needs
- Use water conservatively until supply normalizes
- Boil water for drinking purposes once supply resumes as a safety measure
- Check for pipeline leaks after water restoration
The water department has assured that emergency water tankers are on standby to serve critical needs, particularly for hospitals and medical facilities. Residents facing severe water shortage can contact their local municipal offices for assistance.
