Use water judiciously: municipality
With supply of Cauvery River water to those residing in Rasipuram
Municipality stopping, officials have asked them to use the available
water judiciously.
Municipal Commissioner Krishnamoorthy said that
water was supplied to the municipality by the Tamil Nadu Water Supply
and Drainage Board (TWAD) through the Rasipuram – Edappadi Combined
Water Supply Scheme. Water was drawn from River Cauvery at Nedunkulam
village and treated and distributed to the citizens.
Due
to poor discharge of water from Stanley Reservoir at Mettur Dam, the
flow of water in the river has also dropped. The water does not reach
the drawing point. Hence, from April 4, Cauvery could not be supplied to
the people.
The commissioner said that people should not waste water from wells and borewells.
