VIRUDHUNAGAR: Efforts would be made to ensure that the planned quantum of water under the Tamiraparani combined drinking water scheme was realised for Virudhunagar town, Collector Sigy Thomas Vaidhyan has said. Reviewing the drinking water supply here on Tuesday, she said that the town faced 25 lakh litres of water shortage every day. Out of its daily requirement of 65.70 lakh litres of water only around 40 lakh litres was available. The combined drinking water scheme that was supposed to supply 39 lakh litres every day was providing only 16 lakh litres. The town was getting 24 lakh litres from Anaikuttam dam daily. Ms. Sigy said that the officials should ensure that the proposed water supply of once in five days should be maintained strictly without any problem. She asked the officials to identify and seize electric motors used for illegal suction of drinking water.
