The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has announced a significant water supply disruption across various parts of the city due to critical repair work and declining water levels at the Bhatsa River dam. The water supply is reduced by 30% as a result of urgent repairs to the pneumatic gate system at Pise, managed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). To mitigate the impact, TMC has implemented a rotational water cut from December 1 to December 8. Specific areas will face a 24-hour water cut from 9:00 am on designated days to 9:00 am the following day.

The disruption is attributed to repairs of the pneumatic gate system and low water levels in the Bhatsa dam. The repair work is scheduled from December 1 to December 5, with water restoration expected by December 8. TMC has appealed to residents to store adequate water in advance and practice judicious use during this period. The civic body aims to restore the water supply promptly and minimise inconvenience to residents. Thaneites are advised to plan accordingly and ensure minimal wastage of stored water.
