Tiruchi Corporation Improves Water Quality with Liquid Chlorination
Imagine your city's water tanks are like giant bathtubs.
Right now, they use powder to clean the water, but sometimes the cleaning isn't perfect and causes problems.
The city is switching to a liquid cleaner that's easier to control.
This should make the water cleaner and prevent it from changing color.
They're also adding a special system to catch things that might block the water pipes, like bits of paper.
Also, they will build new, bigger water tanks to store more water for everyone.
Tiruchi Corporation plans to use liquid chlorination at overhead water tanks.
The change aims to maintain stable chlorine levels and improve water quality.
Current chlorine powder use leads to unstable levels and complaints.
A scaver valve system will be installed to prevent clogging in pipelines.
The corporation will construct 10 new water tanks.
