Can't advice anything to you on such little information since a lot of information is missing and obviously I can't be assuming anything while passing you any information of any kind. Since all this requires a lot of research in order to analyse and provide the right way to you.

its not legal to disconnect basic supplies due to non payment of dues. you can file a 101 proceedings under maharashtra cooperative societies act. but you should now immediately restore the water connection to avoid further police problems.

Basic amenities cannot be denied as it is require for day today's life. You may proceed as per the law, you may issue notice of demand of payment of outstanding dues. Even if there is resolution of AGM, that itself is not a law. Therefore for recovery of dues you may file proceeding before Co.Op. Registrar for Recovery Certificate.
