The area of Valmiki Nagar , Thiruvanmiyur has never had a regular supply of drinking water by Metrowater. Though a pipeline to deliver Metrowater does exist , the increasing gradient of the roads leading upto 4th Seaward Road at the end of Valmiki Nagar , caused the failure of the project as the pressure of the water was not enough for it to be pumped all the way through the area.
Now , a project initiated by the Valmiki Nagar Residents Welfare Association (VAREWA) , an organization working with the Metrowater Corporation aims to lay down a pipeline system parallel to the existing system to deliver Metrowater to the entire area of Valmiki Nagar.
The pipeline system construction has begun at 4th Seaward Road , since the water problem is not as acute in 1st and 2nd Seaward Road and West Balakrishnan Road. The project had been in the planning stage for a number of months , but due to a shortage of pipes , it had to be postponed. Once construction of the system is complete in 4th Seaward Road , the project will continue in the other roads of Valmiki Nagar.
“ We are hopeful that the Metrowater supply will begin in 4th Seaward Road in the next few weeks” , said Mr. Sreedhar , one of the coordinators of the project for VAREWA.
