Pune, 21st July 2026: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has announced a complete suspension of water supply in several parts of the city on Thursday (July 23) to facilitate infrastructure and maintenance works. Residents have been advised to store adequate water in advance, as normal supply will resume only on Friday with low pressure and delays expected.
According to the PMC, the disruption is necessary to carry out the shifting of the World Bank main water pipeline at Bhakti-Shakti Chowk in Nigdi, located within the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation limits. At the same time, electrical repair work will also be undertaken at the Holkar Water Treatment Plant.
As these works are linked to the city's water distribution network, water supply in parts of the Vadgaonsheri and Chatushringi water supply divisions will remain completely suspended for the day.
In the Vadgaonsheri division, the shutdown will impact localities including Rukshe Vasti, Ganesh Nagar (Bopkhel), Kalas Malwadi, Ambedkar Colony, parts of Vishrantwadi, Sanjay Park, Burma Shell, Airport area, parts of Kharadi, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Society, Ahilya Nagar, Swatantrya Sainik Nagar, Hari Ganga Society, Sai Gram, Samaj Kalyan Hostel, Police Colony, Arogya Bhavan, Shanti Nagar, Bharat Nagar, Katarwadi, Pratik Nagar, JCD Park, Vrindavan Society, Uttam Township, Mittal Society, Dream Society, Jadhav Nagar, Panchsheel Nagar, Shramik Nagar, Kamgar Nagar and Chandrama Nagar.
In the Chatushringi division, water supply will remain suspended in the Khadki Cantonment Board area, Ammunition Factory premises, Mula Road locality and Bhopte Colony.
PMC officials said water supply is expected to resume on Friday (July 24). However, residents in the affected areas are likely to receive water later than usual and at low pressure as the distribution system is gradually restored following the maintenance work.
Citizens have been advised to make necessary arrangements and use water judiciously until normal supply resumes.
