he Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai has taken up three water projects, namely Middle Vaitarna, Gargai and Pinjal, to match the demand and supply of water and thereby reform the distribution system and improve infrastructure.
The corporation has decided to spend Rs 250 crore for the replacement of water supply pipes that are about 100 years old. The corporation will consider the traffic while digging the roads to lay the pipelines. It has also decided to concretise at least 200 metres of road in Mumbai every year.
To improve the infrastructure and distribution system of water supply, the corporation is planning to go for a universal metering system. The bill would be collected according to the consumption of water by family or individual.
