Mumbai, September 14: Water supply will be temporarily disrupted in the Dronagiri, JNPT, Ulwe, Kharghar, and Taloja areas starting at 9 am on Friday, September 15, and lasting until 9 am on Saturday, September 16. The Navi Mumbai Water Cut is necessary to facilitate maintenance work on the water treatment plant and other associated tasks.

Maintenance and repair work is scheduled to be conducted by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) on the Hetwane Water Treatment Centre, Dam Conduit, and Water Channel. As a result, water supply will be temporarily unavailable for all villages along CIDCO's Hetwane line, as well as the Dronagiri, JNPT, Ulwe, Kharghar, and Taloja nodes.
