The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) will take action against paying guest (PG) accommodations which have illegally obtained Cauvery water supply in Bengaluru.
Following a complaint from a resident of Kadugodi who said that in Ambedkar Nagar, 43 PGs were illegally using Cauvery water and sewage lines during the BWSSB’s phone-in programme on Friday, April 5, BWSSB chairman Ram Prasath Manohar said, “We have received such complaints from many parts of the city. There is no issue if they take commercial connections, but it is not right to illegally obtain water supply and sewage lines and conduct commercial activities at such places. This will result in losses for the water board.”
He instructed the officials to investigate such cases and submit a report in a week. After listening to more complaints from various consumers, the chairman also instructed the officials to immediately work on finding solutions for the problems and submit a report about resolved issues within a week. The phone-in programmes with the chairman are scheduled on Fridays in April and May.
