‘Fit flow control valve in drinking water connections’
The Tirunelveli Corporation has warned that drinking water connections without flow control valve will be cut without prior notice after December 15.
An official statement said the new drinking water scheme for wards 19, 26 and 27 – all under Melapalayam Zone – was dedicated to the public by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa recently and domestic and commercial drinking water connections were being given to those who had paid the deposit and the charges payable for getting the connection.
Though the Corporation had announced that flow control valves should be fitted in every drinking water connection to prevent use of motors, most consumers had not executed the order.
Hence, those who were yet to fit the flow control valve should pay the prescribed fee and fit the valve in the presence of the Junior Engineer before December 15, the statement warne.
