Q: Is the news that Coimbatore might get 24*7 water supply really true? I have been facing a lot of water shortage in my area, and this news, if true will solve a lot of my troubles!
I heard that the corporation will shift the omnibus stand on Avinashi Road. Two places near Codissia and Le Meridian hotel were identified but a final decision is yet to be taken. There is not enough space to enter the omnibus stand near 100 Feet Road
Yes, the government is taking this stuff pretty seriously.To speed up and inspect the work, officials from the Secretariat in Chennai visit Coimbatore often, but the corporation does not have enough vehicles to receive them. So, its has decided to buy a car worth Rs 17.5 lakh. This resolution was also passed immediately.
I found some information online that might be useful. The fourth resolution passed, was related to the expansion of the corporation limits to 257.04sqkm from 105.06sqkm. The state government announced various development schemes worth Rs 2,379 crore for Coimbatore city a few months ago, which have been started.
Did you know that the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Board approved the revised plan to provide drinking water scheme on September 23, 2014. The scheme is being implemented as a pubic-private partnership. The revised plan resolution was approved in the meeting.
Hey, the corporation's emergency council meeting was held at Victoria Hall on 22 January . A resolution for a revised plan for 24x7 drinking water supply was passed at the meeting. As per the resolution, the corporation will receive 125 million litres a day (MLD) of drinking water from Pilloor II water scheme.
Here are some details; The corporation had been receiving 75MLD from Siruvani every day. To augment the existing scheme with continuous 24x7 pressured water supply, the corporation had prepared a detailed project costing Rs451.6 crore and the resolution was passed in November 2013.
Yes, you heard correctly! Residents of the city may soon get 24-hour water supply. The corporation council a few days back adopted a resolution to implement the scheme at an emergency meeting. The scheme will be implemented only 60 wards to begin with.
