Treated water from a treatment plant in Ondipudur would be used to recharge groundwater and help farmers irrigate lands, Municipal Administration Minister S.P. Velumani said here on Sunday while participating in the ground-breaking ceremony organised to launch the scheme.
A release from the district administration quoting the Minister said the State Government, based on representation from farmers in Chettipalayam, Pattanam and Peedampalli, had sanctioned ₹4.76 crore to pump the treated water from the plant to fill ‘kadukuttai’.
The 60 million litres to be treated at the Ondipudur plant would flow into a 2.60 lakh litre sump. A motor near the sump would pump 3.06 cusecs water in such a way that in 16 hours it pumped 50 lakh litres.
