‘Rainwater harvesting must in all buildings’
All buildings in the city should have rainwater harvesting structures as per government order, Corporation Commissioner V.P.Thandapani has said.
The structures, if in disuse, should be renovated and brought into use.
Disconnection
If the structures were found to be in disuse through, drinking water supply would be disconnected, Mr.Thandapani warned in a press release.
Stressing the importance of having the structures in view of the rapid depletion of the ground water table, Mr.Thandapani said building plan approvals would not be issued if the plans do not include provisions for rain water harvesting structures.
