On August 15, 2026, civic engineers and staff completed repairs to a 3,000-mm-diameter Mumbai-III water main leak near Teen Hath Naka in Thane at 5 pm. The repair operation, after detecting the leakage on Thursday night, involved installing a wooden stopper, excavating the damaged area, and pumping out accumulated water. The pipeline was then exposed and dried before permanent repairs, including reinforcement with a mild steel patch plate. However, a fresh leak emerged during the high-pressure repair, delaying the process.
To ensure safe repairs, the BMC collaborated with the Pise Pumping Station and Panjarapur Water Treatment Plant to manage water flow and reduce pressure. As a result, water supply to affected areas was restored in phases by the evening. Once repaired, the pipeline will be gradually pressurized and recharged, with normal water supply expected to resume from 9 pm on Saturday.
