Water supply on alternate days

As water flow in the Swarna river is declining by the day at both the Baje and Shiroor dams, the Udupi City Municipal Council (CMC) has decided to provide drinking water supply to the city and eight surrounding gram panchayats on alternate days from Friday, till the onset of monsoon.

Municipal president P. Yuvaraj and municipal commissioner D. Manjunathayya said that people should use drinking water with care and caution.

Drinking water should not be used for construction of buildings, watering gardens or plantations or for washing vehicles or for other wasteful purposes.
