The Salem City Municipal Corporation has undertaken measures to improve drinking water distribution across several wards by upgrading pipelines, repairing leakages, and enhancing supply management. The initiative aims to provide residents with a more reliable and efficient water supply, particularly during periods of increased demand.
Municipal engineers have been carrying out inspections of distribution networks to identify ageing infrastructure requiring immediate repairs. Efforts are also underway to reduce water loss caused by pipeline leakages and illegal connections. Officials have assured residents that maintenance activities will improve both water pressure and service reliability.
The Corporation has encouraged citizens to report pipeline leaks and water supply issues through its grievance redressal system for quicker response. Public awareness campaigns are also promoting responsible water usage and conservation practices.
These improvements form part of Salem’s long-term strategy to modernise urban utilities while ensuring safe drinking water reaches households across the city.
