Metro water supply hit at a few addresses in Mylapore

For three months now, there has been disruption in drinking water supply by Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board to certain parts of Mylapore, largely those coming under depot 124 of CMWSSB. By extension, these areas would be in Corporation ward 124. Complaints of unfilled sump for around three months have been pouring in from Arisikaran Street. Despite regular beeps on the mobiles of CMWSSB’s depot 124 officials, the problem persists.

Not a drop of drinking water to our address in Arisikaran Street, says Diwakar, a resident of the street. Numerous complaints have been made; but the deadlock continues, he adds. CMWSSB has only dug-up trenches in front of some houses to show for their efforts; the pipelines are dry as a bone, says Diwakar.
