Coimbatore Corporation plans barrage near Pilloor III headworks to ensure uninterrupted water supply
The Coimbatore Corporation is planning to construct a barrage near the Pilloor III headworks to ensure a consistent water supply for the city. This initiative aims to address operational issues caused by the reliance on the Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation's barrage, which affects water levels during flood situations. The proposed project is expected to prevent disruptions in the Pilloor III drinking water scheme, which has previously led to significant supply interruptions.
