On Sunday, the BMC invoked emergency powers to acquire private water tankers, wells, and borewells across the city amid the ongoing strike by tanker drivers.
The civic body implemented provisions of the Emergency Management Act, 2005, after efforts to resolve the dispute proved unsuccessful.
The strike began on Friday after the BMC issued notices to ring well and borewell operators, directing them to stop supplying water to tankers and obtain fresh licences from the Central Ground Water Authority.
The strike has disrupted water supply in residential and commercial areas, forcing some offices to shut and housing complexes to run dry.
