**Chennai Faces Three-Day Water Supply Interruption for Pipeline Connection**

CHENNAI, July 26, 2025 – Residents in several zones of Chennai and portions of Tambaram will face a temporary disruption in their piped water supply from 8:00 a.m. on July 30th until 10:00 p.m. on August 1st. The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) announced that the interruption is necessary to facilitate the connection of a second pipeline from the Chembarambakkam treatment plant to the city’s existing water distribution network.

The affected areas include Zone 7 (Ambattur), Zone 8 (Anna Nagar), Zone 9 (Teynampet), Zone 10 (Kodambakkam), Zone 11 (Valasaravakkam), Zone 12 (Alandur), and Zone 13 (Adyar), as well as some localities within the Tambaram Corporation.

The ₹66.78 crore project involves laying a 2,000-mm diameter pipeline from the Chembarambakkam treatment plant. This plant currently processes 265 million litres of water per day (mld) but has the capacity to treat 530 mld. The new pipeline is expected to allow the plant to operate at its full capacity, significantly improving water supply to the city.

“This project is crucial for ensuring a more reliable and abundant water supply for Chennai residents,” stated a Chennai Metrowater press release. “While we understand the temporary inconvenience, the long-term benefits will be substantial.”

Chennai Metrowater advises residents in the affected areas to store an adequate supply of water in advance. An online service is available for requesting mobile water supply in case of emergency needs. Free water supply to street tanks and through water tankers will continue uninterrupted during the pipeline connection process.
