[Resolved]  BWSSB — Damage to my house due to neighbour's overflowing tank

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

I live in 138, Central Excise Layout, 8th Main, !st Cross, Vijayanagar, Bangalore. My neighbour's tank (House no.139) has been overflowing at nights for more than a year. They have an open pipe leading from their bathrooms due to which water stagnates in their service area near our common compound wall. Due to this my terrace wall has cracked and there is seepage in my garage and the basement storage area. This is a potential danger to my house which has load-bearing walls. Inspite of repeatedly asking them to attend to this problem and recommending agencies that can handle this problem, no action has been taken by them as yet. Please arrange to get the two buildings surveyed by your officials and instruct my neighbour to attend to this problem to prevent further damage to the buildings and save thousands of litres of precious potable water from going waste. Hoping to receive a speedy action from you, Sincerely, Dr.Sunita Nadkarni
