Water in Chennai is supplied by the municipality. But municipality is unable to meet 100% of demand. Some areas get regular water supply while many areas get erratic supply of water. Poor people do not get adequate water on most of the days. People from the middle class and upper class buy water from tankers. They also buy packaged drinking water. But poor people cannot afford the expensed of tanker or packaged water. This shows that water in Chennai is not available and affordable to all.
