Maradu municipality to lay new drinking water pipeline to Valanthakad island

The Hindu  

The Maradu municipality has launched a ₹17-lakh project to ease the acute drinking water scarcity experienced by nearly 45 families on Valanthakad island. The plan is to lay a 2.5-inch pipeline from the Maradu water tank supply point directly to the island. It was expected to ensure uninterrupted water supply to the islanders, who had been reeling under water shortage for long, municipal chairperson Antony Asanparambil said here on Tuesday. The municipal authorities pointed out that the islanders residing on the southern side were the worst hit as they were not getting adequate drinking water for the past several years.
