The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Thursday issued a public advisory for residents of Kurla and Powai, asking them to boil and filter drinking water for 3-4 days starting Monday, June 23, 2025.
In an official statement, the BMC said that the precaution is being taken as water supply will resume from Powai Low-Level Reservoir’s kappa no 2 (structural compartments), which has recently undergone structural repairs. With work on kappa No. 2 now completed, the BMC will begin repair work on Kappa No 1.
During the transition, BMC has advised citizens in the ‘L’ and ‘S’ wards to take preventive measures to ensure water safety as the water quality may be temporarily affected as the supply is restored from the newly repaired reservoir.
