The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation has been cracking down on unauthorised water connections. The civic body has cut around 850 such connections this month and has launched a survey of housing societies that are consuming more water than required.

According to a civic official, there were complaints of low-pressure water supply in some parts of the city. “When our officials visited these areas, they found some illegal connections. Subsequently, the NMMC cut nearly 850 of them,” he stated.
