Chennai Metro water announces disruption of piped water supply to Anna Nagar, Valasaravakkam, Teynampet and Kodambakkam zones from 7am Nov 17 to 7pm Nov 18. Work by Chennai Metro Rail Limited to interconnect water pipelines in Koyambedu Kaliamman Koil Street and Arcot Road.
Piped water supply to areas falling under Anna Nagar, Valasaravakkam, Teynampet and Kodambakkam zones will be disrupted between 7 a.m. on November 17 and 7 p.m. on November 18.
A press release from Chennai Metrowater said the operation of water distribution stations in Choolaimedu and Valluvarkottam will be temporarily stopped to facilitate interconnection work of water pipeline in Koyambedu Kaliamman Koil Street and Arcot Road. Chennai Metro Rail Limited will carry out the work.
Localities such as T.Nagar, West Mambalam, Arumbakkam MMDA Colony, Choolaimedu, Gopalapuram, Nungambakkam and Ashok Nagar will not receive piped water supply during the period.
Metrowater has requested residents to store water in advance and book water tankers online for immediate requirements. However, street supply would be provided to tail-end areas and households without water connections.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
