CHENNAI: Piped drinking water will be suspended on Thursday (November 7) for several areas in three zones in the southern part of the city. This is because of the main pipeline relocation work at 110 MLD seawater desalination plant at Nemmeli to be taken over by the Highways department, said the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB).

Due to the conversion of ECR into a 6-lane road, the Highways department will be carrying out construction of storm water drain. As a result, the main pipeline of the Nemmeli desal plant, which has a production capacity of 110 million litres per day, will be relocated near the VGP campus, noted a statement from the Metro Water board.

So, water supply through pipelines to several areas in Adyar (Zone 13), Perungudi (Zone 14) and Sholinganallur (Zone 15), and Tiruvanmiyur, Besant Nagar, Kalakshetra Colony, Indira Nagar (some parts), Kottivakkam, Palavakkam, Injambakkam, Vettuvankeni and Neelankarai till Thursday 6 pm.
