The lakes supplying water to the city have a 66 per cent stock until Thursday, January 4. The stock is comparatively less than the last two years, but according to BMC officials, it is sufficient until the end of June. Last year, although the lake levels were higher than this year, the city faced water cuts due to delayed monsoon.
The city receives water from seven lakes with a total capacity to store water up to 14.47 lakh million litres. The BMC supplies 3850 million litres of water per day to the city, and the stock lasts up to 10 months from October to the end of June the following year. After the end of the monsoon, the city lakes had 99.2 per cent stock on September 30. In 2022, the lakes had 98.5 per cent stock on the same day.
