Vihar lake overflows on Sunday
MUMBAI: The BMC has asked Mumbaikars to boil water before drinking as torrential rain led to flooding in the filtration and pumping plants at Bhandup water complex and had to be shut down on Sunday morning. Several parts of the city did not receive water even as the BMC worked on a war footing to restore supply.
“The water supply system is expected to be restarted in a few hours, but it may take longer for the filtration system to be up and running. Mumbaikars should boil water before drinking even after supply is back as a precaution,” a civic official said. “Due to the inundation, the filtration and drainage plants had to be shut down. Power supply also had to be cut off.This disrupted supply in most parts of the city.” ....
