The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to implement a 5% water cut in the Mumbai Metropolitan City (BMC jurisdiction) from May 30, 2024, and a 10% water cut from June 5, 2024, as a precautionary measure to ensure that the stock is used for as long as possible.

As on today (May 25), a total of 1,40,202 million litres of water is available in the dams supplying water to Mumbai. At present, only 9.69% of the water stock is available as against 14,47,363 million litres per annum requirement, BMC officials informed. 

The BMC administration is keeping a close watch on the water stock and is supplying water in a planned manner every day. The water cut will remain in force till satisfactory rainfall is received and the useful stock in the water bodies improves.

“Mumbaikars have no reason to panic. However, the BMC administration humbly appeals to all citizens to use water judiciously. By adopting water saving measures, Mumbaikars should save as much water as possible, use water judiciously, and cooperate with the efforts of the municipal administration,” BMC officials said.
