Pimpri-Chinchwad Water Cut: PCMC Yet To Finalise Plan For Additional 10% Reduction From Oct 16

Pimpri-Chinchwad residents may soon experience an additional water supply reduction, with the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) yet to finalize a plan. The city already undergoes an alternate-day water supply, and daily demand exceeds the available supply by around 105 million litres. The Maharashtra Water Resources Department has mandated a 10% cut in water allocation due to low rainfall and the need to conserve water.

PCMC is considering options, including supplying water three days a week, but has not confirmed the revised schedule. The current water supply system involves receiving water on alternate days, and an additional cut could shorten the duration of supply on existing days. Residents are urged to wait for the official announcement before making any assumptions about their water supply days.
