Residents of many merged areas who have to now manage with groundwater and private water resources as they do not have a proper water supply network, may soon get one.

Chennai Metrowater is set to complete detailed projects reports for a comprehensive water supply and sewerage network for the expanded city by August. While some municipalities such as Valasaravakkam and Alandur, which have come under the ambit of the city, already have the network, work is still progressing in Ambattur, Madhavaram, Pallikaranai and Ullagaram-Puzhuthivakkam.
