Rs.238 crore for city water supply project
With the State Cabinet approving a budgetary support of Rs 238.53 crore for the Kochi City Part II of the water supply augmentation project under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, the perennial problem of water shortage in the city may be a thing of the past soon.
The 180 million litres a day (mld) treatment plant planned at Kalamassery in two phases is expected to meet the water shortage in the corporation area, mainly in the northern side, through a pipeline to Kaloor, Thrikkakara, Mulavukkad and Vypeen areas.
The first phase of the project will be to build a treatment plant of 135 mld.
