The work will include charging, flushing, chlorination, and dechlorination of these tunnels to maintain water quality and system efficiency. Officials have stated that this preventive maintenance is necessary for the long-term reliability of Mumbai's water infrastructure.

Water Tunnel No. 2 (AMT-2) runs from Amar Mahal to the Trombay Low-Level and High-Level Reservoirs, supplying water in several parts of Mumbai.

Areas affected by the Mumbai water cut

The 5% water cut in Mumbai will affect multiple wards across the city. Residents in the following areas should expect reduced water supply:

Eastern suburbs: L Ward (Kurla East), M East, M West, N, S, and T wards

Several residential societies, commercial establishments, hospitals, and government offices in these areas may experience low water pressure or reduced supply during this period.
