Manapparai residents facing short supply of drinking water again

The Hindu  

Complaints of drinking water scarcity have begun to resurface in Manapparai and neighbouring villages. The Manapparai municipality, which has no local sources, solely depends on the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board for drinking water. Though there are some improvements in the water supply in the recent past, it is said that the civic body continued to face constrain in ensuring smooth supply of water. According to sources, out of 3.05 MLD of installed capacity, TWAD maintains around 1.5 MLD to 1.7 MLD daily, thereby leading to short supply of drinking water to the residents of the municipality and wayside habitations. It is claimed that it was the main reason for the recent problems in drinking water supply.
