The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has set a deadline of May 7 for those who have taken illegal sewage connections to apply and regularise them.
All buildings have to take a drainage line from BWSSB and let the sewage generated into the dedicated line. Larger buildings need to install an in-situ Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) and use treated water for non-potable purposes. “However, we have found that many are violating these norms and are illegally letting sewage into BWSSB’s lines. A survey to identify such buildings is underway. Meanwhile, we have also given a time window for such buildings to regularise their connections,” said V. Ram Prasath Manohar, Chairman, BWSSB.
After May 7 deadline, BWSSB has warned of stringent action against those who have illegal sewage connections in the city.
