Q: Guys, I currently have a second home in the outskirts of the city. We use it for recreational purposes. Whenever we go we get a tank for the house for drinking water. While it’s easy to do that, I was wondering if any measures are being taken to supply drinking water through the pipelines to all the outskirts areas? It’ll just be so much more convenient if they do that.
Oh right! Man, the current area you stay, ramanathapuram gets water from this scheme only. Good thing they at least thought of it. They should start thinking of all these Panchayats around the town. I hear if they drop the Pilloor I scheme, they’ll be able to supply 50 to 60 MLD just to Panchayats.
I think you are talking about that 100 crore proposal. The Corporation has put up this proposal, state Government has to approve. It’s for the Pilloor Scheme II. They made tunnels for Pilloor I scheme, now they are thinking they’ll surrender those and make separate tunnels to treat the water and supply better.
Well, actually there was something in the news couple of days back about boosting drinking water supply. I think there was a proposal to construct separate water tunnels and distribute water to outskirts.
