The Bodipettai Head works located in Koundanya Mahanadhi scheme was
started at 1908 and the Pasumathur Head works located in Palar scheme was
stated at 1976. The existing pumping systems of the both Head Works exceeded
the design period.

works ), Sedukkarai ( 6 km from the head works) and Ammana Kuppam are the
main transmission loss places as well as water theft also happened in that area
by the surrounding village people.
The existing service reservoir located at Pavadum thoppu was built on 1976 and
