Udumalai Municipality Commissioner, B. Balamurugan, has advised the public to use water sparingly due to reducing water levels in Thirumoorthy Dam, impacting daily water supply in the region.
Coimbatore: In an urgent communication, B. Balamurugan, the Commissioner of Udumalai Municipality, has issued a water conservation notice to the residents. This comes as a response to the rising summer temperatures that have led to decreased water levels in local dams, including the critical Thirumoorthy Dam which supports daily water supply operations in Udumalai. The commissioner stressed the importance of using water judiciously until the monsoon rains help replenish the dam's reservoirs.
The official notice stated that while the municipality ensures the provision of drinking water by utilizing the resources of Thirumoorthy Dam, the prolonged summer heat has resulted in a gradual reduction of water levels in the reservoir. Residents are urged to avoid using municipal water for non-essential purposes such as washing vehicles and watering livestock, to prevent a dire shortage. Additionally, the use of electric motors to draw water directly from the municipal supply is advised against, as it can disrupt the consistent distribution of water across the city.
Residents' cooperation in using water sparingly for essential purposes only will be crucial in managing the water supply until the upcoming rainy season. The municipality is taking all necessary steps to monitor and optimize water usage and expects the public to adhere strictly to these guidelines to avoid complications in daily water distribution.
