The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced a comprehensive overhaul of its water supply project, valued at Rs. 3.79 billion. This initiative aims to address the city's growing water needs and enhance the efficiency of its water distribution network.

The revamp project encompasses various aspects, including the modernization of infrastructure, augmentation of water treatment facilities, and the implementation of advanced technologies for better monitoring and management. BMC officials have emphasised the importance of ensuring a reliable and sustainable water supply system to meet the increasing demands of Mumbai's burgeoning population.

Key components of the project include the replacement and refurbishment of ageing pipelines, installation of new pumping stations, and the adoption of measures to minimise water leakages and losses. Additionally, efforts will be made to optimise water distribution processes through the deployment of smart metres and remote monitoring systems.

The decision to undertake this revamp comes in response to the challenges posed by ageing infrastructure and the need to adapt to evolving urban demands. By modernising its water supply infrastructure, BMC aims to enhance service delivery, reduce wastage, and improve the overall quality of water provided to residents and businesses across the city.

Furthermore, the project is expected to contribute to water conservation efforts and promote sustainability in Mumbai's water management practices.
