Residents of Thorapadi have demanded regular supply of water from the
water tank at Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, near Periya Allapuram area. They said
the water supply from the water tank at Rajiv Gandhi Nagar had reduced
to once a week.
Councillor of ward 49, K Sukumar said Thorapadi
area had been receiving irrregular water supply for the past three
months. He said a separate line between Keezhmonavur and Rajiv Gandhi
Nagar, laid to supply water to Viruthampet area, was affecting the water
supply to Thorapadi.
Water being supplied to Thorapadi from the
Thorapadi lake could be used only for washing. Water was also being
supplied from two bore wells and two open wells.
Corporation
engineer E Devakumar said the water pumped from Keezhmonavur was being
drawn at 21 points on the way. The tank at Rajiv Gandhi Nagar did not
receive water to its full capacity. Steps were being taken to find an
alternative method to supply water to Thorapadi, he added.
