11-hour water supply disruption in parts of Mumbai due to valve replacement work
Mumbai: BMC will carry out crucial valve replacement work on water pipelines in Andheri (West) and Versova, leading to an 11-hour water supply disruption in several parts of the K-West ward.
The shutdown will be in effect from 2 pm on Thursday, June 19, to 1 am on Friday, June 20.
The areas that will face a complete water supply shutdown during the 11-hour maintenance window include parts of Vile Parle (West) such as Lallubhai Park, Lohia Nagar, Parle Gaothan, Milan Subway, the Juhu Vile Parle Development (JVPD) Scheme, Juhu Gaothan No. 3, and V M Road — all of which usually receive water between 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm.
In Moragaon (JVPD), the affected pockets are Moragaon and Juhu Gaothan Nos. 1 and 2, which also typically receive supply during the same afternoon window. In Gilbert Hill, Andheri (West), areas like Juhu Galli, Dhangarwadi, and Sagar City Society will be impacted, where the usual water supply time is from 10:00 pm to 12:30 am.
The civic body has appealed to residents in the affected areas to store adequate water in advance and to use it judiciously during this period.

The work includes the replacement of a 1,350 mm diameter flow control valve on the Bandra water main located under the Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge in Andheri (West), and a 900 mm butterfly valve on the Versova water main. The maintenance requires a complete shutdown of the water mains, which will impact regular water supply in several neighbourhoods.
