THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With the final phase of the renovation works at the water treatment plants (WTP) of Kerala Water Authority (KWA) in Aruvikkara set to start on Saturday afternoon, water supply across the capital city will be affected for the next three days.
In view of this, KWA has requested the public to store up water and take necessary precautions before the supply will be temporarily terminated. Water supply will be halted for renovation works of the 74 MLD water tank and 86 MLD plant.
Though the water pumping will resume by Sunday morning, the water supply is expected to be completely restored by Monday night only. To distribute water in case of emergencies, KWA has sought the help of the corporation and district authorities.
Kiosks to provide water have also been set up in various places from where public can draw water. The vending points at Vellayambalam, Aruvikkara, PTP Nagar, Choozhattukotta and Attingal-Valakad will also provide water to meet emergencies.
