The sewage pipeline work at Anayara has run into trouble with the horizontal directional drilling machine, which was repaired recently, developing fresh technical problems. Attempts to repair it did not succeed on Monday.
With more delays staring at the project, the Kerala Water Authority (KWA) on Monday decided to use another machine to complete part of the work, Water Resources Minister Roshy Augustine’s office said.
The KWA will use a new machine to install the 900 mm HDPE casing pipe underground using another machine. The mild steel (MS) 600-mm sewage pipeline, which passes inside the casing pipe, will be removed from Anayara, to avoid causing further inconvenience to the public.
