The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has assured that drinking water supply, which was affected following flooding of pump houses at Thorekadanahalli (T.K. Halli), will be restored by Wednesday.
Two pump hoses of 550 MLD capacity (stage four, phase two) and one of 330 MLD (stage three, phase two) capacity were flooded owing to heavy rainfall and overflowing of the Bheemeshwari. The drinking water supply affected more than 50 areas in the city.
N Jayaram, chairman, BWSSB, said pump houses that supply 550 MLD would be functional by Tuesday night in a phased manner. Out of the six pumps of the remaining 330 MLD supply line, three were functional on Tuesday evening and rest would start pumping water post-midnight.
