About Chennai Water

Till about the middle of 19th century Chennai received water from local shallow wells and tanks.Mr.Fraser, a civil engineer forwarded a proposal to the government to tap the Kortalayar river which is situated about 160 km north west of chennai and it was accepted.

The project comprised of a masonry weir across Kortalayar at Tamarapakkam and diverting the water into Cholavaram lake and hence into the Red Hills lake through a channel.
The works were completed in 1870 at a cost of about Rs. 18.50 lakhs.

In 1872 a Valve House at Red Hills and an earthen Supply channel to supply water to chennai by gravitation was constructed. At Chennai end, the channel delivered water by gravity into a masonry shaft at Kilpauk from which the cast iron mains of the City branched off and a scientifically designed water supply Distribution System was established.

Some Important Information From Comments

Error / Problem:
1. Useless Portal! They go on changing the procedure, probably to give orders for those, who offer the solutions: How to find the bill number and other details? Why not the same procedure as either the BSNL (or) the Property tax (or) the IRCTC?

2. I am not able to check the status of water tax. Printout of payments are not available.Earlier version was very easy. I made payment of water tax online through CC avenue and got the message Payment Successful, but not able to take printout. My CMC number is 09/124/01153/000.
