The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), on Tuesday, said the city will be getting additional water supply from the Bhatsa and Upper Vaitarna dams. The civic body said that the state government had sanctioned the same although the reservoirs supplying to the metropolis have less water than last year. The municipal commissioner Bhushan Gagrani, who held a review meeting, stated that the available water storage is being closely monitored and urged the citizens to use water judiciously.
"Although the reservoirs that supply water to the Mumbai metropolis have less water storage than in previous years, the state government has already approved additional water storage for Mumbai from Bhatsa and Upper Vaitrana reservoirs. The administration is keeping a close eye on the available water resources and the available water resources have been planned in such a way that it will be sufficient till 31st July 2024 as every year. So Mumbaikars should not worry. However, everyone needs to use water sparingly," said Municipal Commissioner and Administrator Bhushan Gagrani in a statement.
