The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has implemented a 24-hour water shutdown beginning today, Thursday, April 23. The disruption, which affects several major residential and industrial pockets, is necessary for urgent maintenance and pipeline upgradation works carried out by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) at the Jambhul Water Treatment Plant.
Water Supply Shutdown Schedule and Technical Scope
The water cut will commence at 12:00 PM today and last until 12:00 PM on Friday, April 24. According to civic officials, the work involves critical repairs and strengthening of the Barvi Gravity Channel numbers 1, 2, and 3. The maintenance is part of a broader effort to ensure the long-term reliability of the city’s water infrastructure.

Given the intensity of the work, officials have cautioned that while the technical shutdown is limited to 24 hours, the impact on local distribution may extend over the next few days.

The shutdown primarily impacts regions that receive their supply directly through the MIDC network. Key affected localities include:
- Diva and Kalwa: These areas will face a complete suspension of supply.
- Mumbra: Most parts are affected, with the exception of certain sections in ward numbers 26 and 31.
- Majiwada-Manpada: Specific pockets, including Kolshet Khalcha Gaon, will be without water.

Post-Restoration Warning by TMC
Residents are advised that the water supply will not return to normal immediately after the 24-hour window ends. The TMC has warned that supply will likely resume at low pressure on Saturday, April 25, and possibly into the following day as the system undergoes pressure adjustments and air-bleeding.
