The MD KWSB said that both organisations would do all the possible cooperation to deal with any emergency condition during the expected rains in the city.
The administrator said the KWSB would depute its concerned staff at the rain emergency centres established by the KMC in the better interest of the city and to deal with any possible emergency during the monsoon season.
He said standby power generators would be installed at water pumping stations to ensure hurdle-free drainage of rainwater during rains.
