The lake is located to the south of the neighbourhood of Villivakkam, adjacent to the thickly populated Sidco Nagar, and drains into the Otteri Nullah.

The lake belongs to the Chennai Metro Water Supply and Sewerage Board.

Excess water from the lake is currently being released through the southern portion to Otteri Nullah.

The western and southern sides remain the most encroached portions of the lake.

Other infrastructural plans included solar-powered sensors to monitor pollution levels, an open-air theatre, play area for children, Aavin milk parlour, parking lot, basketball court, immersed aerator, and a new bitumen road parallel to the railway line.
