However, there are no facilities like seating areas and restrooms
With Koraiyar and Kudamuritti seeing heavy inflows, the Puthur Weir in the city has turned out to be a popular hang-out for many city residents. However there is no proper viewing point, or facilities such as restrooms.
The Puthur Weir is the confluence point of the Koraiyar river and the Uyyakondan canal. The Kudamuritti canal originates from here and drains into the Cauvery near Karur Highway. People living in nearby residential areas have easy access to this location through concrete roads laid on either side of the Uyyakondan canal, and choose to spend some time amidst the lush green surroundings. The crowd is especially high on weekends.
