Hence it is necessary to formulate a CWSS to the above 1153 rural habitations with river source to provide sustainable quantity and quality of water free from Chemical impurities.

In addition, based on the Announcement made, the hamlets of the Peravurani Town Panchayat, Perumagalur Town Panchayat and Adhirampattinam Town Panchayat are included in the scope of this project.
