The BMC is trying to solve the issue as soon as possible. BMC had to shut down the transformer at the water pumping station after the fire incident. The repair and restoration work has impacted the water supply. For now, they have urged the people to utilise water resources judiciously. They have asked for people’s cooperation to quickly resolve the issue and restore normalcy soon.

We hope the situation resolves as soon as possible and water supply resumes soon in these areas.
