PMC cancels Thursday water cut in Pune, supply to continue on regular schedule citywide

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has cancelled the water cut planned for Thursday, 12 November. The reason given is the deficient rainfall in this year's monsoon and a prolonged dry spell. Water supply across the city will continue on its regular schedule.

The PMC's water supply department announced the decision on Wednesday. According to the department, residents will not have to face the interruption that had been scheduled, and no part of the city is expected to be left without water on Thursday because of the earlier shutdown plan.

Rainfall was generally low in this year's monsoon, with a long dry spell in between. This is the reason given for cancelling the cut. Water supply in Pune is normally shut off every Thursday, which often affects large parts of the city. On the following morning, supply is also frequently low or delayed.

With the cut cancelled, households that had stored water in advance can now go about their day as usual.
