24-Hour Water Cut in Kalyan-Dombivli, Ulhasnagar, Titwala, and MIDC Areas: Essential Maintenance Underway

Thane: Residents across Kalyan-Dombivli, Ulhasnagar, Titwala, and Dombivli MIDC areas will have to prepare for a 24-hour water cut starting from 12 PM on Thursday, September 18. The water supply will be completely shut down due to essential maintenance and repair works undertaken by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC).

According to an official release, MIDC will carry out crucial maintenance work at the Jambhul water purification centre and the Barvi pumping station. The shutdown will last for 24 hours, from 12 PM on Thursday, September 18, until 12 PM on Friday, September 19. This maintenance is vital to ensure the long-term smooth and uninterrupted supply of water to the region.

The water cut will affect industrial zones, including Dombivli MIDC and Taloja MIDC, as well as municipal areas under the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC), Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC), and several surrounding gram panchayats. Officials have warned that even after the supply resumes on Friday, water pressure may remain low for some time as the system stabilizes.

Authorities have strongly advised residents, local institutions, industries, and housing societies to store sufficient water in advance and use it judiciously during the shutdown period. The 24-hour water cut is part of MIDC's scheduled preventive maintenance drive to ensure smoother and uninterrupted water supply in the long run. This initiative aims to prevent potential water supply issues and maintain the quality and reliability of the water distribution system.

The MIDC is a state-owned corporation responsible for the development of industrial infrastructure in Maharashtra. It plays a crucial role in promoting industrial growth and ensuring the availability of essential services like water and electricity to industrial areas. The corporation's efforts in maintaining and upgrading its infrastructure are essential for the economic development of the region.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed and follow the guidelines provided by local authorities to minimize the impact of the water cut. For any queries or assistance, residents can contact the MIDC helpline or visit their official website for updates. By working together, the community can ensure a smoother transition during this maintenance period and contribute to the overall well-being of the region.
