Udupi City Municipality will begin drinking water rationing from Wednesday. Udupi municipality Rayappa informed that Water will be supplied in Udupi once in three days. The municipality, which has 35 wards, will be rationing water as a precautionary measure to save the fast-depleting resource at Baje vented dam, which supplies water to Udupi, till the end of summer.

The rationing is to ensure continued and equitable water supply till the dam gets rainwater. The entire city area will be divided into three zones viz. Udupi, Manipal and Malpe for the rationing purpose. People in elevated areas where piped water may not reach owing to low pressure during the rationing will be supplied with tanker water.

The water level at Baje dam which stood at 3.61 mts last week against the maximum level of 6.50 mts has dropped to 3.25 mts. The Commissioner said that the rationing will continue till the water level in the dam reaches a comfortable level after rains.
