Two pipelines each of 18 mgd capacity at Kannur on the way to city from Thumbay had burst on Saturday which stopped water supply to the city till Wednesday.
The city which is soon going to be a smart city with crores of rupees of investment has taken five days to repair two pipes which supplied water to the city. Residents depended on tanker water on all these days and some had even started going to relatives’ houses in villages.
Though the water has arrived, the flow was not good as usual. It is learnt that situation will come to normal from Thursday. Some complained about dirt in the water.
