MCC to Launch Round-The-Clock Water Supply in Bendoor, Kannur Zones on Pilot Basis
Mangalore City South MLA D. Vedavyas Kamath and Mayor Premananda Shetty said that the city corporation has chosen Bendoor and Kannur zones for supplying round-the-clock drinking water on a pilot basis in the city.
Speaking after performing ‘bhoomi puja’ for constructing an underground reservoir for storing 20 lakh litres of water at Lady Hill, MLA Vedavyas said that the 24×7 water supply in the two zones is likely to begin after a month. He said that the city corporation will check whether all consumers will get water supply with good pressure on the two pilot zones selected. The city has 54 water supply zones. The reservoir at Lady Hill will get water from the existing underground reservoir at Bendoor. A 660 mm mild steel pipeline covering 3.20 km will be laid between Bendoor and Lady Hill for supplying water from Bendor to Lady Hill.
Water supply infrastructure is being strengthened under the scheme for the city. It includes building intermediate pumping stations at eight places, constructing overhead water storage tanks at 19 places, building underground reservoirs at two places, constructing a 81.7 MLD capacity water treatment plant at Ramalkatte, near Thumbe, and upgrading 1,500 km long water supply network, and 96,300 water supply connections.
