Mumbai will see major water supply disruptions over the Christmas break as authorities carry out pipeline connection work in multiple zones. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced that several suburban areas, including Bandra and Andheri, will face up to 99 hours of low-pressure water supply due to ongoing work related to Metro Line 7A.
According to the civic body, major water pipeline connection work will be undertaken, impacting water supply in parts of the G North, K East and H East wards.
Which areas will be affected?
As per the schedule, several pockets across the city will experience low-pressure or limited water supply until December 26. The affected regions include the G North ward covering Dharavi, the K East ward which includes Andheri and nearby localities, and the H East ward, home to the busy Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC).
G North Ward
In G North, morning water supply will continue in Dharavi Loop Road, AKG Nagar, Jasmine Mill Road, Matunga Labour Camp, Sant Rohidas Road, 60 Feet Road, 90 Feet Road, Sant Kakeya Road, M.P. Nagar, Dhorwada and Mahatma Gandhi Road, following the regular timing of 4:00 am to 12 noon. However, these areas will face low-pressure supply between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm from December 22 to 25.
In the evening, Dharavi Main Road, Ganesh Mandir Road, Dilip Kadam Road, Jasmine Mill Road, Mahim Junction and A.K.G. Nagar will receive water during the usual 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm slot. Low-pressure conditions will persist in these areas from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm daily till December 25.

In K East, afternoon water supply will be available in Kabir Nagar, Bamanwada, Parsi Wada, Airport Area, Tarun Bharat Colony, Islampura, Deulwadi and P&T Colony between 2:00 pm and 5:30 pm. These locations will experience low-pressure supply from 2:00 am to 5:30 pm each day from December 22 to 25.

Late-night supply will continue in Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), including the Motilal Nagar side, from 10:00 pm to 11:40 pm. These areas too will face low-pressure water during this time slot every day till December 25.
Mumbai Metro 7A work
The 99-hour disruption is linked to reconnection work on a key pipeline for the Mumbai Metro Line 7A project. Earlier construction activity had required diverting a major 2,400 mm water main, and the BMC will now restore this connection between December 22 and December 26, leading to temporary low-pressure supply across the affected wards.
