According to a statement by Metro Water, the supply of 100 MLD (million litres per day) water would be stopped for 15 days from March 17 to April 1 to fix travelling band screen (TBS). This would affect water supply to areas in south Chennai like Tiruvanmiyur, Kottivakkam, Palavakkam, Perungudi, Adyar, Velachery, Besant Nagar, Mylapore, Mandaveli, Sholinganallur, Injambakkam and Neelankarai.
“However, alternate arrangements have been made to supply water during the above period for these areas,” stated the release. In view of the interruption in supply, the water manager has requested the public to store enough quantity of water and use the available water judiciously.
