CHENNAI: The piped drinking water supply will be suspended in several areas in the Manali area on February 6 and 7, as the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) will carry out interconnection works of the main pipeline at Kamarajar Road junction.
The supply to areas under the Manali zone such as Edayanchavadi, Sadayankuppam, Kadapakkam and Manali will be suspended for 12 hours. Denizens are advised to take precautionary measures and store sufficient drinking water in advance.
The Metro Water board on Wednesday stated that under the Manali water supply scheme, the main pipeline of the Manali overhead water tank will be connected to the distribution pipeline at the Kamarajar road junction. This work is scheduled to take place from 6 am on February 6 to 6 am February 7.
