Residents of parts of South Chennai have complained about the reduced supply of Metro water. Over the past few days, the water that flows into their sumps has reduced considerably and they have been forced to approach private tankers for water. The areas that have been affected include Gandhi Nagar, Indira Nagar, Besant Nagar, Adyar, Tiruvanmiyur, Mylapore, Taramani, Velachery, Pallipattu and parts of the IT corridor.
‘Water production at the (Nemmeli Desalination) plant dipped substantially last week due to a power disruption for over four hours. The distribution is now being reorganised in such a way so as to provide water to localities with adequate water pressure on alternate days to deal with the water shortage’, said a source from Metrowater.
