Water Will be Supplied to Mangalore City on Alternate Days From May 5: Spread The Word

Since there is shortage in water storage at the Thumbe vented dam, which supplies drinking water to the city, the Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) will resort to water rationing from May 5. Water will be supplied on alternate days from Friday. Accordingly water will be supplied to Mangalore City North on May 5. There will be no water supply to Mangalore City North on May 6. Instead water will be supplied to Mangalore City South on May 6. Likewise the supply on alternate days will continue.

An engineer at the corporation said that water level at the dam stood at 4.27 m on Wednesday against the full storage level of 6 m. If water is supplied daily to the entire city (Mangalore City North and Mangalore City South) the existing storage will last only for 16 days. Hence the decision to supply water on alternate days has been taken to supply water till May-end.
