Roadpali-Kalamboli Faces 31% Water Shortfall; 20,000 Families Battle Crisis, Residents Threaten Morcha, Legal Action
A prolonged water crisis in Roadpali-Kalamboli has intensified, with the Roadpali Residents Welfare Association (RRWA), representing more than 100 housing societies and nearly 20,000 families, claiming that Kalamboli received an average of only 19.30 million litres a day (MLD) over the seven days between September 24 and 30, against a stated requirement of 28 MLD.

The Roadpali-Kalamboli region is grappling with a severe water crisis, leaving over 20,000 families without adequate supply. The Roadpali Residents Welfare Association (RRWA) has highlighted that the area received only an average of 19.30 million litres a day (MLD) over a week in September, well below the required 28 MLD. This shortfall, accounting for 31% of the demand, has forced residents to increasingly depend on private water tankers.
The issue has persisted for years, with RRWA pointing out that the average supply to Kalamboli has consistently fallen short of the stipulated amount. Residents have been raising concerns with various authorities, including CIDCO and the Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC), but have not received a clear resolution. RRWA has also questioned the water-related charge on property-tax bills, demanding clarity on the legal basis and the service being provided.
The association has warned of organizing protests and legal action if a permanent solution is not provided.
