In four years, the city’s thirst will be successfully quenched as the Chennai Metro Water has invited international bidders to build a 400-MLD capacity seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant at Perur along the East Coast Road in Kancheepuram district.

It is also awaiting funds from the World Bank for a project aimed at recharging waterbodies with recycled water. 

The desalination plant that may begin operation by 2024 could reduce city’s water troubles to a great extend, a top Metro Water  official told Express.
