Kolhapur to begin alternate-day water supply from April 30

The Kolhapur Municipal Corporation has announced that the city will shift to alternate-day water supply from Wednesday (April 30) amid falling reservoir levels.

Civic authorities said the decision was taken due to declining water storage and concerns over delayed rainfall before the monsoon season.

A rotation-based supply system will be implemented across different wards in the city.

Residents have been urged to use water carefully and avoid wastage during the restriction period, reported The Times of India.

Officials said water levels are being closely monitored as summer demand continues to rise.

The move comes as several cities in western India face pressure on water resources due to prolonged heat conditions.

Authorities indicated that the arrangement would remain in place until reservoir levels improve.

The civic body is also reviewing additional conservation measures to manage supply.

The development highlights increasing urban water stress ahead of the monsoon season.
