Bangalore Water Supply & Sewerage Board [Bwssb] — sewage water mixed with drinking line

Address: Dr. A K Sharma, 14-15, 1 Main, 2 Cross, Sri Veerbhadra Nagar (Basava Nagar), Bangalore 37. 9880539106, 560037

Dear Sir / Madam,

In Sri Veerbhadra Nagar (Basava Nagar) area sewage water is mixed with drinking BWSSB drinking water supply line. Dirty water with foul smell was coming from January last week to February first week. Water connections lines to many houses were blocked due to dirty muddy silt. Water Meter filters got blocked/ choked with this dirt. Many residents have spent good amount of money to plumbers in getting cleaning of these blocked water lines and chocked water meter filter. Almost all the residents of the area have cleaned their sumps and overhead tanks to get rid of dirty water. A good amount of money and efforts were wasted.

Thereafter, residents have closed the gate valve of water line to stop this dirty water supply to their sumps. Many residents have made complaint to BWSSB and have called the BWSSB man to see the condition of water. He has seen the dirty water supply coming from the BWSSB water line to resident’s sump. He checked some manholes of some drainages. Thereafter from February second week instead of repairing the water line, he has stopped the water supply to this area. All residents are now getting the water from private water tanker suppliers.

The problem should please be addressed on priority.
