MUMBAI: During the current water crisis, the BMC has decided to realign the zones to which it supplies water.

Officials feel that the exercise would help not only in equitable distribution of water but also in the fair implementation of the water curtle. The BMC supplies water to 113 zones at different times throughout the day.

"We expect better water pressure after the realignment. Also, it will be possible for us to take more water from areas that have surplus supply and distribute it to those that do not get enough," said additional municipal commissioner Anil Diggikar.

However, BJP corporator Yogesh Sagar remained sceptical. "Zoning will be difficult as we do not have a system in place," he said. tnn
