Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) Chairman Ram Prasath Manohar said the board will supply water from the Hesaraghatta water supply unit if the water crisis worsens in May.
Mr. Manohar, after inspecting multiple lakes and water supply units, including at Hesaraghatta, on Wednesday said the unit has the capacity to supply 10 MLD and if the situation demands more supply, the BWSSB will make arrangements to distribute water from this plant.
He said currently, the lake has water storage of 0.3 tmcft and the borewells near the lake also have water. He directed the officials to ready the unit to purify the lake water to make it potable for drinking during the supply. “We have sufficient water to supply from the water distribution unit and I have instructed the officials to take necessary steps to keep the unit ready by May.”
