India: Water disruptions ongoing in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala State, as of early Sept. 9

Water disruptions are still ongoing in parts of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala State, as of early Sept. 9 due to ongoing maintenance works. The Kerala Water Authority (KWA) began working to change the alignment of the main transmission line at Melarannur on Sept. 5, but has been hit by delays. Educational institutions across Thiruvananthapuram remain closed, and the higher areas of the city continue to experience water disruptions.

Water disruptions can cause business disruptions, especially for companies that rely on large quantities of municipal water. Lingering water disruptions are possible as the KWA attempts to complete the works on Sept. 9.
