The development of a citywide water grid will significantly enhance the city's supply reliability, operational flexibility, and climate resilience," WABAG Chief Executive Officer - India Cluster, Shailesh Kumar said.

The project will be completed within 54 months, followed by 10 years of operation and maintenance.

Once operational, the system will establish a climate-resilient water grid for Chennai, significantly improving the city's ability to manage water resources efficiently, respond to disruptions, and ensure a reliable and sustainable water supply for its growing population.
