Special Correspondent
TIRUVARUR: As maintenance work is to be undertaken in Municipalities, town panchayats and panchayat union areas, which are provided with drinking water under Vedaranyam Combined Water Scheme in Tiruvarur district on June 10 to 12, local bodies should make arrangements for providing drinking water to the people in these areas through alternate sources, said M. Chandrasekaran, District Collector, here on Tuesday.
The areas supplied with drinking water under the combined drinking water scheme are Tiruvarur Municipality, Thiruthuraipoondi Municipality, Muthupettai town panchayat and Needamangalam, Valangaiman, Mannargudi, Kottur, Muthupettai and Thiruthuraipoondi panchayat unions.
The Collector said that Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board (TWAD) has appealed to the local bodies to provide water to the people and asked the people to put up with the inconvenience and prepare them in advance to store water for the days during when the maintenance work will be undertaken.
