Pune Water Cut: When Will Supply Resume?
Water supply is expected to return on Friday, 21 November, although residents may initially experience low pressure.
Why Is Pune Facing Citywide Water Cut?
The Water Supply Department has completed installing a new main pipeline and will now connect two 1,400 mm pipelines during the shutdown. To ensure safety and efficiency, water supply across much of Pune will be halted for the entire day. Nandkumar Jagtap, Head of the Water Supply Department, confirmed that supply from the Bhama–Askhed Dam to the Nagar Road belt will remain unaffected.
Advisory For Residents
Residents in all affected areas are advised to store sufficient water and use it judiciously. The upgrade forms part of broader efforts to enhance Pune’s water supply reliability as the city continues to expand and demand increases.
