BWSSB — drinking water leakage

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

Bangalore, 23rd March’15 From: B.S.Damodar, 41, BCC Layout, 2nd Stage, Bangalore 40 (Mobile No.[protected]) To: The Chairman/Commissioner, BWSSB, Bangalore Dear Sir, Reg:- Complaint - Misbehaviour of Junior Line Man in Chandra Layout BWSSB Office Ref:- My earlier complaint dt. 17th March’15 In continuation of the above, I write to inform you that still the leakage is not plugged! In fact today(6th day after my above complaint) it was again leaking on the road as if a flow of big river. According to my vague guess at the rate of 1K Ltrs.for every 5 minutes water was getting leaked out today. That means in the entire 12 hrs. night(during which service was in force) minimum of around 150K Ltrs. of drinking water has gone waste. It is in one night. Guess what is the position for a week/month/year & when it is perennial! It is really a great shock for me even if the matter is brought to the notice of highest authority in the Board, none seems to be bothered much about the huge loss to the Board/Govt. I know it is Govt. and not a private management!. The leakage point is very near to the service point. As such, if the valve man had just lifted his head and casually looked at the service area to check as to whether there is any leakage, soon after giving service, he would have located the leak. But unfortunately, neither he nor any official of the Board is in the habit of making such a checking. Everywhere we see a miserable lot of inefficient manpower. You have Supervisors, Inspectors, JEs, AEEs, EEs and so on and so forth. They are supposed to run the Organisation efficiently. But in reality what is happening is really pathetic and disheartening.
