But near Pooluvampatti in Coimbatore, a water pipe has remained broken without being repaired for the past one month, with water gushing forth out of it and being wasted. Residents in the area say that they have complained regarding this to concerned Corporation authorities, several times, but no action has been taken thus far by the Coimbatore Corporation officials.
