50% water cut in city today after pipeline burst
The city will face a 50 per cent water cut Thursday after the Tansa
pipeline burst at three places. The G-North and G-South wards, including
Worli and Mahim, have been particularly affected with 100 per cent
water cut Wednesday night. Wednesday, a 10 per cent water cut was in
force as the pipeline was being repaired.
“The repair work was completed as scheduled. Early Tuesday
morning, however, the Tansa (west) pipeline burst near Agra road and
water supply had to be stopped. Soon after, there were two more bursts
near Chincholi and K B Bridge as water pressure increased. Citizens will
face a 50 per cent water cut. We expect to complete the repair work
Friday morning,” said additional municipal commissioner Rajeev Jalota,
in-charge of the water supply department.
