Shopkeepers and residents along the Karur Bypass near Annamalai Nagar in the city have complained of receiving contaminated drinking water in their taps.
Commercial establishments along the Karur Bypass had complained that they had been getting contaminated water supply for the past four days. They suspect that the cause of the contamination was a leaking sewer line. The sewage apparently mixed with the drinking water supplied by the Tiruchi Corporation.
Following the complaints, the Corporation has deputed a team of engineers and workers to determine the cause of water contamination. However, the team is yet to find the spot where the fault had occurred. Pits have been dug along the road. But these pits had been filled with rainwater.
