Aerator to bring down iron content in water supplied to parts of Tiruchi city commissioned

An aerator to reduce the iron content in the drinking water supplied from the Kollidam riverbed to the city was commissioned by K N Nehru, Minister for Municipal Administration, here on Friday. Established at a cost of ₹ 5 crores at the Ayyalamman bathing ghat in Kambarasampettai, the multiple-tray aerator resembling a water fountain, would help bring down the iron content to the permissible level of less than 0.3 milligrams per litre, officials said.
