Storage tank with 40-lakh-litre capacity to come up at Kaloor
The Kochi Corporation’s decision to drop the “unfeasible” Sarovaram project is likely to benefit the city dwellers as the funds earmarked for the project will be utilised for enhancing the water supply.
A portion of the ₹9.33 crore earmarked for the project, which was caught in a series of issues including the violation of the Coastal Regulation Zone rules, would be used for the construction of a 40-lakh-litre-capacity water storage tank at Kaloor. The funds will also be utilised for replacing some of the old water supply pipelines in the city.
The Kerala Water Authority has mooted the water tank construction and re-laying of water supply pipelines. The water supply projects that are implemented in the city under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) will benefit from the dropped project, according to civic authorities.
