Residents may suffer reduced water pressure for one to two days after the shutdown until the regular water supply has been restored. The TMC has urged citizens to stockpile water in advance and work with the corporation during this time.

"Due to this shutdown, there is a possibility of water supply at low pressure for the next 1 to 2 days until the water supply is restored to its previous level. However, the municipal corporation has appealed to citizens to store water properly and cooperate with the Thane Municipal Corporation," the civic agency said. 

Earlier this week, water supply in parts of Mumbai was hit after the main pipeline which supplies water from Tansa to the city burst at Powai. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation announced a water cut as they undertook repair work which affected Andheri East, Bandra Terminal area, parts of Dharavi, Powai, and Bhandup.
