On Monday, the Western Railway (WR), installed a water vending machine on a pilot-basis at Khar station.

The commuters, out of curiosity, are trying their hands on the water ATM that would dispense 300 ml of purified water on insertion of Re 1 coin.

But alas, the water ATM is unable to quench the thirst of commuters in the sweltering heat as there’s no supply of water to it.

According to reports, the contractor is yet to provide electricity to the machine, and it will take at least a week’s time to be operational.
