Despite recent rains, Mumbai residents to face water cut from July 1
economictimes.indiatimes.com
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) cited inadequate water level in reservoirs for its decision to implement 10% water cut in Mumbai from July 1. This year monsoon's entry into Mumbai has been two weeks late due to cyclone Biparjoy.

Six days ago New Indian Express reported that:

“If there is rainfall by June end and in July also we get good rainfall, then by August all these dams would start overflowing and meet the drinking water demand of the city. This year, the situation seems to be grim since the beginning. The delay in monsoon has been worsening the situation. The depleting water and rise in dry coverage area resulted in major evaporation of the remaining water,” said a BMC(Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) official.

However, it’s now a week later, the monsoon has arrived and the India Times (article linked in post) says Mumbai will see water cuts anyway:

Despite the recent monsoon rains in Mumbai, city residents will face a 10% water supply cut. Reason: Inadequate water level in lakes supplying water to Mumbai due to delayed monsoon. Mumbai’s civic body Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has also appealed to citizens to save water and use it judiciously.

Mumbai gets 3,800 MLD (millions of litres per day) water from seven reservoirs located in Mumbai, Thane and Nashik districts: Bhatsa, Upper Vaitarna, Middle Vaitarna, Tansa, Modak Sagar, Vihar and Tulsi.

According to a BMC report, the seven lakes had 7.26% stock at 6 am on Wednesday as compared to water 9.04% and 16.44% in 2022 and 2021 respectively.

That’s not enough info to know if this is a pattern historically. This snapshot doesn’t look great, though. Does anyone know how normal water cuts in summer in Mumbai are?
