Mumbaikars summer just got tougher. Mumbai may face a 10 percent water cut starting from May 1.

Authorities are planning this step because the city's water reserves are dropping fast before the monsoon arrives.

Right now Mumbai's lake levels stand at just 33.6 percent capacity.

Key reservoirs like Bhatsa, Tansa and Vaitarna are already under serious pressure.

Officials say the water supply needs to be stretched until the rains return.

A precautionary 10 percent cut is being considered across the entire city.

If implemented this could directly affect daily household water supply timings in the coming weeks
