Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) chairman Ramprasath Manohar V directed officials on Monday to promptly tackle water leakage issues and provide a comprehensive report by Wednesday.
During a convened meeting focused on addressing concerns related to water leakage from BWSSB pipelines, officials acknowledged the challenges posed by aging pipelines and the proliferation of buildings in certain areas.
In certain areas, the proliferation of buildings has rendered it impractical to alter the current pipelines. In several locations, the pipelines have also aged to the extent that replacement works are imperative, officials conveyed to the chairman.
In response, the chairman instructed officials to expedite the repair of damaged pipelines to minimize water loss and requested a progress report by Wednesday.It is the BWSSB’s priority to supply adequate water to consumers. The board is taking necessary measures in this regard. If any issues in any part of the city are reported to the BWSSB, they will be resolved at the earliest, he Said.
