Uthandi residents demand piped water supply

Although pipelines were laid a year ago, supply is yet to resume

Residents of Uthandi, one of the fast developing localities along the East Coast Road, want water supply to be provided soon.

Although drinking water pipelines were laid more than a year ago, several residential localities in Uthandi are still waiting for water supply.

Abirami Balaji, secretary of Society of Liberals Valuing Environment, Uthandi, said several areas were solely dependent on groundwater. “Groundwater quality in our area is better compared to the neighbouring localities. The connections have been given. But water supply is yet to be provided. Only a few streets are getting water supply,” she said.
