Mayor B. Y. Ramaiah and Municipal Commissioner D.K. Balaji on Monday night announced that the State government had given the administrative sanction for the execution of a ₹82 crore project to bring drinking water from the Sunkesula Reservoir to the city. At a press conference here, the Mayor said it was a great achievement for the new Council to get this project for the city, which would very soon be the Judicial Capital of the State. “We as such have a scarcity of water to serve the far-flung areas of the city and this project will come in handy,” he added. Mr. Balaji said the State government had modified the ₹50.43 estimate for a similar scheme with administrative sanction in under G.O. Ms. No. 323, MA&UD (UBS) Department, of August 29, 2017, and issued G.O. No.266 dated June 7 (Monday) sanctioning ₹82 crore as the project estimate. A 23-km pipeline will be laid from the Sunkesula Reservoir to the Summer Storage Tank in the city.
