Summary:
The BMC might have just announced the 10 per cent water cuts, but residents of Cuffe Parade claim they have been suffering from water shortages right from August this year. A number of residents are calling for mineral water too, because tanker water stinks and may be contaminated," said Agarwal. That apart, we have also had to purchase packaged water because the tanker water is not potable. As a result, the buildings in our areas have been calling for four to 10 tankers daily, depending on the number of flats housed in it," said Padmakar Nandekar, Secretary General, Cuffe Parade Residents Association and resident of Jal Kiran building in Cuffe Parade. Residents said that daily water needs were burning a hole in their pockets..
