The civic body also intends to beautify the area surrounding the reservoir. “We will also make sure that the area surrounding the reservoir is in a pristine condition. We will plant more trees and develop a small garden within the vicinity. This will also make the area a green belt,” added Charankar.
Mumbai receives water from various lakes situated outside the city. Prior to supply, the water is treated at Pise Panjrapur in Thane district and at the Bhandup water treatment plan. It is then carried to the 28 reservoirs.
