Ring Main Pipeline Project

Greater Chennai Corporation receives drinking water from five water treatment plants and three seawater desalination plants. Each plant is designed to supply specific areas of the city through separate main pipelines.

Thus, when required, surplus water from one area cannot be diverted to another area where there is a shortage.

To address this issue, a new project, ‘Ring Main Pipeline Project’, will be 19 implemented for connecting all the water distribution stations to ensure equitable distribution of water supply to all the water distribution stations in Chennai city.

This project will be implemented over the next three years at an estimated cost of Rs.2,423 crore to ensure balanced water supply.
