Summary:
About 40 per cent of water distributed by Chennai Metro Water to the city is lost just during delivery. These are in turn connected to 16 water distribution systems which help in circulating water to households that are connected to Metro Water’s water grid. “The water distribution system at Choolaimedu supplies water till Vadapalani and the one at Kilpauk sends water till T Nagar. Within six to nine months, 10 MLD water treatment plants will be built at Retteri, Perumbakkam and Ayanambakkam lakes. Each 10-MLD water treatment plant will have a command area of 5 sq km radius to which it will supply water from the nearest source..
