Mumbai: 15 days to restore hydro electricity plant at Bhatsa lake

The state Energy department will take at least a fortnight to restore the hydro-electricity generation plant at Bhatsa lake, which has affected water supply to Mumbai for the last few days. Bhatsa lake is the largest supplier of water to the city.

A senior irrigation department official said, “We used to release most of the water to Mumbai via the hydro electricity generation plant. But a few days ago, there was a loud noise and this plant stopped working. Now, we can’t release water via this plant and have to release water via a canal.”
