Sri Vijaya Puram, Feb 22: Sri Vijaya Puram Municipal Council is presently facing a shortfall in potable water availability, which is expected to become more challenging in the coming days due to seasonal and operational constraints. Ensuring safe drinking water for every household remains the highest priority of the Municipal Administration.
In this context, the cooperation of all residents is earnestly sought to conserve water so that essential needs such as drinking, cooking, and basic domestic use can be met equitably across all 24 Wards.
As a temporary but necessary measure, citizens are requested to avoid the following non-essential uses of potable water with immediate effect:
• Washing of cars, bikes, and other vehicles
• Cleaning of premises, roads, and compounds using hosepipes
• Watering of lawns, gardens, and ornamental plants
• Use of drinking water for construction works, including curing.
• Reuse water from washing vegetables and utensils for cleaning or flushing.
• Check taps and pipes regularly and report leaks immediately.
These small acts of conservation, when practised collectively, can save significant quantities of water each day and help ensure that no household is left without basic water supply.
The Municipal Council appeals to hotels, commercial establishments, institutions, and bulk consumers to adopt water-saving practices and use alternative sources such as reused or non-potable water wherever possible.
SVPMC assures the public that multiple measures are being taken simultaneously, including improving distribution efficiency, controlling leakages, and augmenting supply wherever feasible. Regular updates will be shared to keep citizens informed.
Water is a shared resource and a shared responsibility. With public cooperation, Sri Vijaya Puram can overcome this challenge together.
