Mumbai: There will be five per cent water cut across the city’s western suburbs and a few parts of the island city on Wednesday, according to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

As such, water supply will be curtailed in areas such as Colaba, Nariman Point, Grant Road, Mumbai Central, Worli, Dadar, Mahim and Dharavi. Also the entire western suburbs will be affected which includes areas from Bandra to Dahisar.
The BMC supplies water to citizens after treating water at various treatment plants. One of such treatment plant is in Bhandup Complex where the mentioned commissioning work will be carried out for the day.
“It is advisable to store water in the early morning. This will be a one-day thing.The water supply will be normal from Thursday,” added the BMC official.
