Pune is preparing for weekly water supply shutdowns as the state mandates a 10% reduction in water consumption starting October 16, amid drought concerns. The city's water supply relies on four dams holding 26.80 thousand million cubic feet (TMC) of water, though this is 2.35 TMC less than last year's storage level at the same time.
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is awaiting official instructions before deciding on the best way to implement the reduction, one of which could be a weekly water supply shutdown. The objective of the proposed restrictions is to save water for the summer while meeting the needs of drought-stricken regions in Maharashtra.
