Pune will face a 24-hour water supply disruption on April 23 (Thursday) due to essential maintenance at multiple water treatment plants and pumping stations, with the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) announcing a complete shutdown from midnight on April 22 to midnight on April 23, 2026.
The watercut is because of the urgent electrical and structural repairs at several critical facilities, including the New Parvati Water Treatment Plant, the Old Parvati Plant, and the Warje Water Centre. This maintenance is intended to strengthen the reliability and performance of Pune’s water infrastructure, amid growing concerns about possible disruptions in the future.
Authorities have warned that water supply may not return to normal immediately on April 24, with possible low pressure and delays due to air in the pipelines after maintenance. Chief Engineer Nandkishor Jagtap has urged residents to store sufficient water in advance, while the PMC works to restore regular supply as quickly as possible.
