Studies conducted by French firm SUEZ to assess the condition of Kerala Water Authority (KWA) pipelines have found significant deterioration in pipelines in several localities of Kochi.
According to the findings, aged and sedimented pipelines have affected the water-carrying capacity in the city. The assessment was carried out to evaluate the condition of the existing pipeline network.
The studies point to a need for attention to the ageing water supply infrastructure in Kochi. No further details were provided in the input on the extent of the damage or the next steps by the KWA.
