It was brought to light by the RK. Nagar legislator JJ. Ebenezer that a storage tank of 10 mld would not be enough to provide water supply for the entire neighbourhood. The residents hereafter need not depend on the water tankers. He concluded that the pressure of water in the pipes would be better and it could meet the demand.
