Tiruchi floats tender to revamp trouble-prone sewerage network

To bring relief from frequent malfunctioning of the underground drainage system in the city, Tiruchi Corporation has decided to revamp the existing sewerage network at an estimated cost of Rs.1.67 bn. The project will be implemented under Smart City initiative. The civic body received clearance from the Commissionerate of Municipal Administration for the project recently and has floated a tender. The project would address the long-pending issue of frequent disruptions in the functioning of the existing underground network. It has been found that the sewage mains have been damaged over several metres. Similarly, several chambers and manholes and connecting pipes had worn out, thereby causing burst manholes and pipes.
