Flat dwellers facing water shortage in Kerala
While realty is growing in Kerala, especially in cities like Kochi, drinking water supply in flats have remained irregular for months.
Occupants of newly-built flats in Kalamassery, Thrikkakara, and Kakkanad are facing water shortage forcing them to buy water sold through tanker Lorries.
Since they cannot get access to water supply, flat dwellers have to either spend Rs 750-Rs 1,500 to buy water through tanker lorries or use saline water usually drawn from groundwater sources.
The Kerala Water Authority (KWA), the responsible authority to ensure water supply , blame shortage of six-inch pipes through which water is supplied to flats.
Builders say a weak monsoon has made rainwater harvesting facilities set up in these apartments futile, which even worsens the situation.
