The meeting was informed that ?295.61 crore would be spent on water supply (including the Varahi water to Udupi project) and ?38.5 crore on underground drainage system. The water from the Varahi will be pumped only during the four summer months. The pipelines would be laid one metre deep along the shoulders of the road from Bharatkal to Baje. It would take 36 months for complete implementation of the project and tenders had already been floated for it, they said. The issues of bringing water from the Varahi in Bharatkal, about 36 km from here, to Baje, and underground drainage system figured prominently in the review meeting of developmental works of Udupi City Municipal Council (CMC) chaired by K. Raghupati Bhat, MLA, here on Wednesday.
