The Tiruchi City Corporation has expedited the repairs to clear the block in the radial arm of the Collector Well at Periyar Nagar to restore daily water supply in the city at the earliest.
The Corporation recently introduced alternate day drinking water supply in some parts of Tiruchi owing to the block in the Periyar Nagar Collector Well.
“The Periyar Nagar Collector Well is one of the oldest in Tamil Nadu and has a sand depth of 23 metres. There are 22 radial arms in the well, made of mild steel, which get corroded easily. If we are able to put in side bores, we will be able to resume daily water supply as before,” Corporation Commissioner V. Saravanan told The Hindu.
