Summary:

The KWA has also expressed reservations regarding the revised road restoration charges by the PWD. Thiruvananthapuram: The long-delayed sewerage scheme connecting Kazhakkoottam to Muttathara is expected to cost Rs 96 crore, which is much more than the original cost envisaged during JNNURM in 2007. The authority had asked to review the earlier decision of SHPSC, which said that road restoration works in KWA projects had to be executed by the KWA itself. Around 10% households are not connected to the sewer lines as they are located below the feasible level of existing sewer. If the same problem arises here, the progress of the work could be affected, officials said.The city corporation is aggressively pushing for Kazhakkoottam-Muttathara stretch under sewerage scheme..
