Summary:
Water supply to Aluva and Kalamassery has not been affected, though supply to other places is a tad less. The pump houses at Parakkadavu and Vengoor were submerged after the Periyar water level rose. more-inThe turbidity in the Periyar continues to be higher than usual, but it has not seriously affected the production of drinking water at the Aluva treatment plant which has cut back water supply by only 15%. Maintenance work is now on at the two pump houses as the water had entered the pump sets, besides disturbing the filter beds. Eloor and Aluva municipalities have piped water connections in almost all houses, hence the river water entering homes had caused much hardship to residents..
