The overflowing Bheemeshwara at Torekadanahalli (T.K. Halli) in Mandya district will affect Bengaluru’s drinking water supply for two days, as two pumping stations in the region, from where the Cauvery water is pumped out, have been flooded. The pumps are expected to be fully functional again by Wednesday.
In a press release, the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) said that more than 50 areas, including Malleswaram, Seshadripuram, Indiranagar, Sadashivanagar, Kengeri, and others, will not get drinking water for Monday and Tuesday.
“As there is heavy rainfall in the T.K. Halli region, the second stage machinery of the third and fourth division which supplies water to Bengaluru has been flooded,” the release said.
