supply scheme is introduced in 1895 with the head works located
on the bank of river Cauvery at Kambarasampettai, which is 3 Kms
away from the City. The original water supply scheme comprises of
3 infiltration wells supplied limited quantity of water to its inhabitants.
Due to increase in population and demand for water, the improvements
were carried out in Head Works by providing additional wells in
1932, 1962 and 1975. Inundation caused damage to the wells located
int eh head works and latter abandoned. To substitute these sources
12 deep bore wells of 1o inches diameter were provided at selected
locations on the river bank of cauvery at Kambarasampettai to maintain
the regular supply.
