MUMBAI: The Middle Vaitarna dam that supplies drinking water to Mumbai reached its capacity on Sunday morning, an official from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation said.
This is the fifth dam out of the seven reservoirs supplying drinking water to the city that has reached its capacity, he said.
The Tulsi, Vihar, Modak Sagar, and Tansa dams reached capacity earlier.
Incessant rainfall in catchment areas has led to a significant increase in water levels.
As a result, the civic body has withdrawn the 10 per cent water cut imposed in the city.
The combined storage capacity of all seven dams supplying potable water is 1,44,736 crore litres, with 89.10 per cent currently filled, the official said.
