‘Desal plant shutdown not to affect supply’

In an alternative arrangement, the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) has decided to supply piped water from Veeranam and Chembarambakkam lakes to parts of South Chennai where the water supply has been suspended owing to maintenance works in Nemmeli desalination plant.
