The Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) on Friday said it will enforce water rationing with immediate effect, supplying water for 96 hours (four days) and halting the same for the next 48 hours (two days).
An official release here said inflow into the Netravathi and the Thumbe vented dam had completely stopped thereby forcing the civic authority to judiciously distribute the available water till the arrival of monsoon.
The existing system of water distribution to wards will continue as it is for 96 hours and discontinued for 48 hours.
This arrangement, the release said, is purely temporary and will be revoked if there was sufficient inflow into the Thumbe dam following summer showers.
The corporation has formed a team of engineers to ensure proper supply of water to the residents.
If residents find any problem in water supply, they may call the water helpline, 0824-2220303 (Bendore) or 0824-2220364 (Panambur-Surathkal).
