(File photo)Several parts of South Mumbai, including upscale localities in Byculla, Worli, Mumbai Central, and Grant Road, will face a day-long water cut Thursday after a major pipeline leakage was detected late Wednesday night. According to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), a 1,650-mm diameter water main developed a leak near Famous Studios in Worli, prompting immediate repair work.Civic body officials said water supply through the pipeline was shut as a precautionary measure soon after the leakage was detected to prevent further wastage. “The repair works have been taken up on a war footing. This water pipeline supplies water daily to the G south (Worli, Lower Parel), D (Malabar Hill, Cumbala Hill, Pedder Road, Girgaon and Grant Road) and E (Byculla, Mazgaon) areas. Therefore, as a result, the water supply in these areas has been stopped for May 7,” a statement by the BMC stated. The supply stoppage is set to affect Dhobighat in Mahalaxmi, Kasturba, and Nair Hospitals. This is the second water cut reported in Mumbai within the past week. Before that, BMC enforced a 30-hour water cut on April 30 for commissioning a new water supply channel, while another shutdown was announced on April 16 to facilitate chlorination work at the civic body’s water filtration plants.
