Supply of water from Veeranam lake in the district to Chennai to meet the drinking water requirement was stopped from Monday owing to poor storage, a senior PWD official said.

The water level in the sprawling tank on Monday stood at 27 feet as against its maximum of 47.50 feet, PWD Assistant Engineer R Govindarajan told reporters.

He said the water level was dwindling as it had not been receiving inflow from Mettur Dam.
