Decision on Mumbai water cut by July 10

June 30, 2011 15:12

With less rainfall this year and lakes drying up, Mumbaikars have reason to worry as the local civic body has said it will decide on implementation of water cuts in the metropolis in 10 days.

"We will wait for 10 days or so then decide whether to implement water cuts or not. By July 10 or 12 we will decide about water cuts," Additional Municipal Commissioner Rajiv Jalota said.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has said it has sufficient water stock for the city until July 20. If it doesn't rain till then, the BMC will start looking at options to curb the usage of water.
