Mysuru: Summer is fast approaching and if things go as per plans and if there is sufficient water at Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam, the city will not face water crisis. For, the Centre, State Government and the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) have come together to build two gigantic ground-level water storage tanks in city. These tanks will boost the storage capacity and both tanks can store 13 million litres of water. The good news is that over 40 percent of the works have been completed and the target is to complete them by the time summer arrives. While one tank is being built near the existing tank at Vijayanagar Second Stage, one more tank is coming up at Yadavagiri, inside the premises of the Office of Executive Engineer, Karnataka Urban Water Supply and Drainage Board (KUWS&DB). Apart from the two new tanks, the existing water tank at Vijayanagar Second Stage that has a badly damaged roof will be repaired and all leakages will be plugged by laying vitrified tiles.
