Corporation plans floating fountains off Marina Beach
Kannal Achuthan
Chennai: The Chennai Corporation plans to install two floating fountains in the sea waters off the Marina Beach.
The fountains would serve as a tourist attraction, especially at night when they would be lit up in bright colours, said Chennai Corporation officials.
The water spray would go up over 100 feet so that people can view the fountains even from a distance.
Floating fountains have a base that is made of rugged materials such as fibreglass.
Jets of water are pumped through nozzles on the base and can be controlled to form different shapes, they said.
The Corporation has invited bids from firms that would design, install and maintain the fountains.
A floating fountain is also being planned on the Cooum river, and a point near Napier Bridge is being considered as a suitable location.
New parks
The Corporation will develop a new park on Gandhi Irwin Bridge Road and several roadside parks in Anna Nagar. Two plots of Open Space Reservation lands that were in disuse would be developed as parks with greenery, play space and joggers’ tracks in Villivakkam and Nungambakkam.
