Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Wednesday laid the foundation stone for a ring main pipeline system, a project to interlink various water sources in Chennai at a cost of ₹3,108.55 crore.

The project aims at ensuring an equitable and uninterrupted supply of drinking water to residents of the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) area.

It is being implemented by the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB).

Mr. Vijay launched the closed circular loop project at the Chennai Metrowater pumping station in Sholinganallur.

According to an official release, the city’s major water sources include Puzhal, Cholavaram, Veeranam, Chembarambakkam, Thervoy Kandigai-Kannankottai and Poondi reservoirs, and Krishna river. Water from these sources is being treated at the treatment plants in Puzhal, Surapet, Kilpauk, Chembarambakkam and Veeranam.
