Water supply to municipal pools was suspended on June 17 and was resumed on Aug 16 after rainfall picked up across the state and lake levels improved. BMC data showed that on Oct 8, the seven lakes held 13.3 lakh million litres, or around 94% of their combined capacity, against 14.3 lakh million litres, or 99%, on the same date last year. Stocks in 2024 were 14.3 lakh million litres, or 98.6%. Modak Sagar was at 69% capacity, compared with 99% last year and 95% in 2024.
We also need to account for supplies until the next monsoon,” a senior BMC official said. An official said water from Modak Sagar, which receives supplies from Vaitarna system and acts as a balancing lake, was being used before Vaitarna’s gates were opened. “But there is a need to reassess this decision as harsher summer conditions were emerging, indicating that water demand would increase in coming months.
