Central Railway (CR) completed installation of a rainwater harvesting system at LTT in October 2012. The system cost 10 lakh (US$18,200) and will conserve 7 lakh litres of water, which is approximately 40% of the station's daily water requirement. According to V. A. Malegaonkar, CR chief public relations officer, "The rainwater harvesting project will help in percolation of water into the subsoil. This will reduce flooding in the vicinity during monsoon. The project involved constructing a 2-km trench and filling it with crushed stones".
