Mangalore city Mayor Premananda Shetty said that the MCC will seek ₹350 crore from the Union Government under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) Scheme II for further augmenting the water supply infrastructure. The Mayor said that the fund will be sought mainly for constructing a jack well, constructing a water storage facility, building a pump house – all at Adyar – and laying an additional main water supply line from Adyar-Harekala vented dam, which is being built now across the Netravathi by the Minor Irrigation Department, to the city. He  informed that the infrastructural facilities will be set up on about 10 acre land near Adyar. Water will be sourced from the 520-m-long dam which could store 661.54 tmcft water.
