Come 2011 and Mumbaikars will no longer need to store water. The BMC says it is awaiting the completion of the Middle Vaitarna dam project to ensure uninterrupted water supply to the city. The project will augment the city's water supply from the present 3,400 million litres daily to 3,800 million litres daily.
There are four stages to achieve 24x7 water supply for the city. These include a water audit to know the quantum of unaccounted for water, meaning water lost due to leakages and pilferage. With only 50% of waters meters in working condition and none in the island city, the BMC cannot dream of providing water at all hours. Working meters are essential to ensure there is no wastage of water.
"The water meter tender process has been completed and will be put up before the standing committee on Saturday," said Anil Diggikar, additional municipal commissioner in-charge of the water supply project.

The BMC is also planning a Ground Penetration Radar System to detect leakages in its water supply network and a Geographic Information System so that it knows the exact location of every water pipe. "All this is taking time, but by 2011 we will make 24x7 water a reality," said Diggiikar.
