Acting on complaints of insufficient and low-pressure water supply in the evening, the Thane civic body has announced to stop afternoon supply from today till July 21.
The daily water distribution in the morning and evening sessions from the Dhobighat reservoir will continue as usual while the afternoon distribution will be stopped on an experimental basis.
TMC additional commissioner Sandeep Salvi said, "It was observed that due to half an hour water distribution in the afternoon, there is stress on the distribution system in the evening and the water reservoir is less filled. So, in order to improve the evening distribution, it is necessary to stop the afternoon water distribution for a few days and verify the evening distribution system. Accordingly, it has been decided to stop the afternoon water supply for 7 days on an experimental basis."
Salvi further added, " The daily water distribution in morning and evening session from Dhobighat reservoir will continue as usual while the afternoon distribution will be stopped from July 15 to July 21 on an experimental basis, the afternoon daily water distribution from the Dhobighat reservoir is being stopped on an experimental basis. We have appealed to residents to take note of it and conserve the water. "
