The BMC will review its decision in the first week of July regarding the implementation of water cuts amidst heavy rain in the catchment areas of lakes. The civic body had announced on Tuesday a 10 per cent water cut starting from July 1, but lake levels have shown slight improvement since Wednesday, and there is a forecast of heavy to very heavy rainfall in the next three days.

The monsoon arrived late in the city, and although it has been raining heavily for the past five days, the catchment areas of the five lakes in Thane and Nashik received limited rainfall. The lake stock was below 7 per cent, and the BMC is relying on reserved stock for water supply.
