The amount of water Mumbai wastes in a day by way of leakages, thefts and misuse is enough to meet Pune’s daily requirement.

Mumbai currently receives 3,350 million litres of water per day (MLD), of which 650 MLD, the volume the Pune Municipal Corporation supplies to its 30-lakh population in a day, is wasted, according to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

The BMC on Saturday announced that “due to heavy leakages on 72-inch diameter Mumbai II water main at the Eastern Express Highway junction of Sion-Panvel Road, there will be 25 per cent water cut for 24 hours from 12 midnight on Saturday to 12 midnight on Sunday in B, E, F/South, F/north wards and some parts of Chembur. Citizens are requested to use water sparingly and co-operate”.
