A consumer survey is under way to collect details about the status of drinking water supply in Kodambakkam and Adyar zones where a 24-hour water supply scheme will be implemented soon.

The Water Corporation of Odisha (WATCO) has requested the residents in Wards 127 to 142 covering areas such as T. Nagar, Vadapalani, Saidapet, West Mambalam, K.K. Nagar, Jafferkhanpet and Koyambedu and Wards 168 to 180, including Ekkatuthangal, Velachery, Kotturpuram, Adyar and Guindy to provide required details on the water supply during the door-to-door survey.

WATCO has been appointed as consultant for the project following a recent pact with the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board.

A press release said the survey would be part of the preparation of detailed project report on improvement of the infrastructure to execute round-the-clock water supply in these zones.

New pipelines

The project would cover aspects such as improving the capacity of the old, damaged pipelines in the areas and laying pipelines in streets that had been left out for piped water supply.

The water board has asked WATCO to provide detailed project report and tender documents within a year.
