The BMC announced that the Metro-7A construction work will affect water supply in parts of K-ward from tomorrow till next weekend. Residents in parts of Mumbai's Vile Parle (East) and areas between Andheri station and the Western Express Highway are set to face low water pressure for a week. The affected localities include Old Nagardas Marg, New Nagardas Marg, Mograpada, and Andheri-Kurla Marg, with the disruption scheduled from Sunday, June 22, to Saturday, June 28. The week-long issue is linked to ongoing maintenance work and may impact daily routines in these neighbourhoods. On June 20, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) issued an advisory about a temporary disruption in water supply. Parts of the K-East Ward will be affected over the coming week due to ongoing construction work for the Metro-7A project. As a result, residents in the affected areas can expect low water pressure during this period. In its advisory, the civic body has advised citizens to store adequate water in advance and to use it sparingly to avoid inconvenience. The BMC, in a statement quoted by Mid-Day, explained that the ongoing work is part of the Mumbai Metro-7A project. The BMC clarified that the ongoing low water pressure in parts of K-East Ward is due to excavation work under the Metro-7A project. As per the statement, a tunnel-boring machine will dig beneath an active 1,800 mm water canal near Bamanwada, Andheri (East). 'Under the Mumbai Metro-7A project, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority will be excavating under the operational 1,800-mm diameter corporation canal of Veravali reservoir (24×7), near Bamanwada in Andheri (East), in the K-East Ward through a tunnel-boring machine," BMC said in a statement as quoted by Mid-Day. – In Vile Parle (East), residents will experience low water pressure between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM daily throughout the affected week. – Meanwhile, areas such as Old Nagardas Marg, New Nagardas Marg, Mograpada, and Andheri-Kurla Marg—specifically the stretch from Andheri Station to the Western Express Highway—will receive water at low pressure between 8:00 PM and 9:30 PM.
