Coimbatore Corporation and Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage (TWAD) Board have taken exception to the underground power cable that the Tangedco is laying on the Edayarpalayam-Vadavalli Road. Sources said the Tangedco was laying the power cable so close to the water supply line that either the civic body or TWAD Board, whichever agency maintains the Kavundampalayam-Vadavalli drinking water supply improvement scheme, would find it difficult to take up maintenance work. They said that it was important that the Tangedco took a relook at where it laid the pipeline because the water supply line was a feeder main or the main supply line linking two water tanks and the power cable looked like a high voltage cable.
