One Leaky City

Seems Bombay cant stop leaking eh !!

The city recorded the fourth pipe burst in the last month. And we are not talking about the small ½” pipe that gets water to your apartment. We are talking a big ass 57″ water mains pipe carrying water from the reservoir to the city wards.

Seems that the city infrastructure is caving in. Many of these pipes were installed when the British still ruled India, and we have been under the impression that they are indestructible !!

However, thank god that the BMC is at least aware of the problem

BMC will soon construct five underground tunnels to carry water from various reservoirs to the city. These will replace the rupturing pipelines. [link [1]]

Till then city wards A, B (partly), C, D, E (partly) G (South) and G (North) and suburban wards of H (East) and H (East) will face a 15 per cent water cut on Tuesday.

No bathing for you all. And no toilet too
