Water level at the Thumbe vented dam rose to 6.3 ft on Monday evening against the maximum level of 13 ft.
Pumping
According to H.N. Gopalakrishna, commissioner, Mangaluru City Corporation, pumping of water to the city started from 10 a.m. on Sunday would be stopped on Monday night and water would be supplied till 5 a.m. on Tuesday.
As the catchment areas of the Nethravati did not receive rain for the last two days, the corporation would wait before reverting back to water supply once in two days. According to the weather department, monsoon would hit only after June 10.
The corporation would have to manage till then. If the level goes up to 8 ft. then water could be supplied once in two days, he said.
