I have been intimating the issue to the authorities concerned for the past few years," said V R Sini, ward councillor, Akkulam. The pumping pressure must be increased for the supply of water to elevated places. According to Sini, water issues can be solved to a greater extent provided the power supply to the region is maintained. "Most places in my ward including Vellayambalam, Raj Bhavan, Madan Kovil Lane, RNP lane, VJ lane and Jawahar Nagar suffer from water woes," said Muralidharan K, ward councillor, Kowdiar. Meanwhile, as a long term plan the Kerala Water Department intends to build a water treatment plant at Aruvikkara with a capacity of 75 MLD, said Sini..
