The BMC supplies drinking water daily from Upper Vaitarna, Modak Sagar, Tansa, Middle Vaitarna, Bhatsa, Vihar, and Tulsi lakes.
Of these, Tansa has 98.33 per cent water stock, Modak Sagar 100 per cent, Middle Vaitarna 96.54 per cent, Upper Vaitarna 98.09 per cent, Bhatsa 96.98 per cent, Vehar 100 per cent and Tulsi 100 per cent.
