BWSSB on Tuesday restored water supply to areas hit by water scarcity
The BWSSB on Tuesday said it had restored water supply to 70% of areas hit by water scarcity. However, normal water supply to the entire city will be restored only by the weekend. BWSSB is still receiving complains from North and East Bangalore and are sending tankers to these parts. Some areas are getting two to four hours of supply, while some are getting for almost 12 hours.
"Even though supply has been restored, the flow is less." says Joseph Menueaud of Richard’s Town resident association.Many areas saw low water pressure. “Compared to last week, things are a little better. Last evening, we received corporation water. It is improving but the flow is intermittent,” said N G Udayasimha of Nagarbhavi residents welfare association.Residents of Sarvagnanagar (Cox Town) have also started receiving water supply from Monday.
Low water pressure seems to be a common problem.In fact, many of BWSSB’s ground level reservoirs are still empty. “It will take around a week’s time to restore water supply to normal. Now 70% has been covered. Some areas are getting two to four hours of supply, while some are getting for almost 12 hours,” said BWSSB chief engineer, T Venkataraju.BWSSB is still receiving complains from North and East Bangalore and are sending tankers to these parts.
