COIMBATORE: With polling and the accompanying election rhetoric fading into background till the counting date, it is time for the city's water managers and the residents to settle down for the day-to-day affairs. And, focus is on the city's water situation. There are indications that the city may soon have a supply cut. Drinking water may be supplied once in four days, instead of the present alternate day arrangement, because storage in Siruvani dam is dipping. The Coimbatore Corporation is closely monitoring the water level in the Siruvani Dam, which is decreasing by the day. Sources say a little over 20 feet water is available for supply and that the situation is pretty tight. Though the Corporation is supposed to get around 85 million litres a day (mld) it is receiving only around 64 mld. This has pushed the civic body to consider a revision in the water supply cycle. The sources say that the Corporation will soon start supplying water once in four days as it has to manage with the existing level till fresh rains recharge the reservoir. At present, the Corporation supplies Siruvani water on alternate days. The water supply managers are looking forward to augmenting the supply using Pilloor water. To tide over the crisis, the Corporation has planned to pump in 15 mld water using the Pilloor Phase II pipeline. The sources say the civic body has completed the necessary work and is awaiting the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board clearance to supply the water. The latter recently conducted an inspection in this regard. The water drawn from Pilloor will be pumped into sumps in Rathinapuri and Sivananda Colony and distributed from there. Siruvani water is being distributed using tanks in R.G. Layout, Kavundampalayam, and K.K. Pudur. Once the Pilloor supply comes through, the Corporation's dependence on Siruvani water is likely to come down. There will be uniform distribution in both low-lying and high-lying areas as the water will be stored and then pumped, the sources say.
