otteri is one of the congested place in Chennai.Residents fear ill-health as drinking and bathing water is contaminated. The overflowing sewerage
has also contaminated the drinking water and borewells.
No fewer than 20 households have been directly affected. One of the senior citizens and a resident of the neighborhood said, "The place has become horrible to live in because the bad smell coming from the sewage water flowing on the road. We had complained to the corporation, but they only temporarily fixed it. Now the water from the main road is flooding our homes. We are sure to fall sick. If they can replace the small pipes with bigger ones, the overflowing of sewage water may stop."
He added that the drainage chambers started overflowing and mixed with bore well water. "We could not take baths as the water was dirty. The drinking water is also contaminated and we have had to buy drinking water," he said.
taking up the request from public ,now the corporation is replacing the small drainage pipes with bigger ones. due to the flat culture the land which can accommodate one house is now filled with 5 and ultimately sewage clogging happens.
corporation has now started fixing up the problem with directly connecting the residential drainage pipelines with the manholes without any intermediate connection but yet the walls of the manholes are not changed. people say that the walls of the manhole should also be changed to avoid the clogging completely.
