City may have to go through water cut

The city may have to go through water cuts this summer to help its parched neighbours. Municipal corporations around Mumbai, faced with an acute water shortage, have rushed in to claim the city's daily share of 3,400 million litres of water. The BMC has already received a request from Thane Municipal Corporation for an additional 100 million litres of water every day. This, besides the 160 million litres it supplies to the TMC for a nominal cost. Bhayandar has also asked the BMC for 50 million litres daily, over and above the 35 million litres it gets from the city civic body.
