However last year the lake had overflowed on July 28, 2014. In the 24 hours between September 21-22, Tulsi recorded 46mm of rainfall.
The total quantum of water in Tulsi Lake as off today is 2287 million litres. As off September 22, the total quantum in the seven lakes which supply water to Mumbai was 1129089 lakh million litres. However hydraulic department officials said that the 20% water cuts would continue to stay yet, considering the city needs 14.47 lakh million litres of water in the lakes to see it through till the next monsoon.
On Saturday the Middle Vaitarna Lake had reached its full capacity, while on Sunday the Modak Sagar lake had overflowed.
Mumbai is reeling under 20% water cut for domestic users and 50% for bulk consumers. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis last week directed BMC commissioner Ajoy Mehta to withdraw the water cuts on two significant days of the Ganpati festival – September 17 and 27. Keeping in mind the festivities, the pandals also have been informed by the civic body to display messages of water conservation through banners and posters.
