-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KOCHI: The inter-connection work of the Kerala Water Authority, linking the 700-mm pipeline going to Edappally and Elamakkara-Cheranelloor through Palarivattom and the main line going to the city at Thammanam Junction, was completed by Sunday evening.
Pumping through the main line towards the city started by Sunday evening itself, according to KWA officials. Pumping will be done from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. every day and from 4.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. on alternate days. The main line takes water to the city zone, which includes Kaloor, M.G. Road, Ernakulam North and Kadavanthra regions. The supply in this line, which was disrupted due to the work for the past couple of days, is expected to be normal by Tuesday. The work had started on May 19, and was expected to be complete over the weekend. But it had continued for almost one week due to unforeseen developments in the pipe-laying work.
Boosting of the supply through the 700-mm pipeline going from Samskara Junction through Palarivattom towards Edappally, Elamakkara and Cheranelloor is yet to start. The KWA is waiting for the pumping towards the city zone to stabilise before attempting to boost this line. The boosting of supply along this line is expected to provide relief to the perennial water shortage affecting the Cheranelloor-Elamakkara-Perandur regions. The timing of pumping through this line has to be scheduled. At present, some consumers in Palarivattom are enjoying uninterrupted supply for 24 hours every day. A meeting of the officials concerned will soon be convened to discuss about the schedule, according to the KWA officials. The public has to be intimated about the change in the schedule. The KWA is also making an estimate of the intake quantity of water in this region.
Since the Palarivattom-Elamakkara line is made up of primo pipes, which is a mixture of concrete and iron not as strong as the cast iron pipeline, it cannot take too much pressure immediately after the work.
