Supply of water from Veeranam lake in the district to Chennai to meet the city’s drinking water requirement has been stopped from today owing to poor storage, a senior PWD official said.
The water level in the sprawling tank today stood at 27 feet as against its maximum of 47.50 feet, PWD Assistant Engineer R Govindarajan told presspersons.
He said the water level was dwindling as it had not been receiving inflows from Mettur Dam.
Most parts of Tamil Nadu are facing a drought like situation in view of the monsoon failure.
