After much delay, the work to replace the defective pipeline under the Alappuzha drinking water project will begin on Thursday.
N. Jayaraj project manager, Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) said that around 1,200 metres of the pipeline at Thakazhi would be replaced.
The work will be carried out by digging the Ambalapuzha-Thiruvalla road. The plan is to replace the 1,000-mm high-density polyethylene pipe with 900-mm mild steel pipe.
