Corporation has floated re-tender
The Tiruchi Corporation has floated a re-tender for the rejuvenation of the drinking water supply scheme in the city.
The scheme is aimed at replacing worn-out mains and pipelines of old water supply scheme being supplied from Kambarasampettai so as to improve the efficiency of water supply to residents. According to sources, Tiruchi got its first water supply scheme in 1910. It covered areas around Rockfort, Big Bazaar, Gandhi Market, Varaganeri and Palakkarai. As the population rose rapidly the capacity of the drinking water scheme was improved in 1980. Since the capacity was found inadequate to meet the requirement of the people, it was enhanced further with a new scheme in 1990.
