Call to expedite water supply project work

Residents of various hamlets under Corporation Ward 3 were getting annoyed over the delay in commencement of Rs. 3.25 crore drinking water supply enhancement project work, despite the completion of tendering procedures.

Accompanied by ward councillor K. Marappan, the residents met the Corporation officials on Wednesday to raise the said issue along with a few other grievances connected to inadequate drainage and pathetic condition of public toilet complex in the area.

Mr. Marappan later told reporters that the officials had assured to take steps to proceed with the water supply project.

According to the residents, the public toilet complex situated at Adi Dravidar Colony in Chettipalayam has been lying in a pathetic condition. “Due to this, people defecate in the open,” they told the Corporation officials.

Another demand was the need to augment the supply of water through the second drinking water scheme.
