Sir,
Sub: frequent failure of water supply to consumer id [protected] of k. G. Kochappan, kaitavalappil, panambukad, vallarpadam po, kochi

We, k. K. Chandran & t. K. Kalavathy aged 72 and 65, live on the southern side of the water tank at panambukad. By middle of march one mr. Chidambaran, who is operating the booster pump at panambukad for kwa, ernakulam, to supply water to vallarpadam area, was found digging the piple line in our property for removing the block in the supply line to the western side.in fact he was carrying out this work in our absence at home? When questioned of his work with two tamil labourers, he said he was doing the job to remove the block, for water authority, ernakulam and substituting the old pipes with new ones. There was no official from kwa, present at work site.

Since this work was done, we felt that water supply to our residence was scarce on many days. Sometimes there was no supply coninuously for 2 or 3 days. We have reported this matter to the officials of water authority, pallimukku office, ernakulam.

The officials of kwa. Ernakulam, are unaware of any such repair work ordered by them or entrusted with shri. Chidambaran. It is reported that some of the consumers on western side of our residence are drawing water with high power pumps fitted to the supply line, resulting in supply failure to our residence. The assistant engineer has assured to look into the matter.

Kindly enquire to prevent illegal activities on the supply line of kwa and ensure regular supply of drinking water to our residence.in fact my father, sri. K. G. Kochappan had surrendered 13 cents of land from his property in old survey no.641/2 & 3 at panambukad in mulavukad village, in 1959, to facilitate the construction of the water tank at panambukad.

There is no supply of water to our residence since morning of 14th may 2018 till this time. We expect to receive the drinking water to our residence in future, without any further interference by exterrnal forces.

Yours truly
