1. Illegal suction pumps tapping into BWSSB pipes rob water from law-abiding residents
In addition to several other water woes this summer, those living in residential areas of Bengaluru are grappling with the problem of illegal suction pumps attached to pipelines of the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB).
According to some residents, many houses and commercial establishments located on arterial roads use suction pumps to draw more water, which results in very little or no water reaching the remaining residents. Alleging that the tanks in their houses are running dry, residents say the closure of the vigilance wing in BWSSB has allowed such activities to go on unchecked.
