The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has completed testing the Cauvery Stage V pipelines and supply system, ready to bring Cauvery water to 110 villages in the next 10 days pending government approval. Although physical infrastructure was completed in July, thorough testing delayed the commissioning. Concerns about the aging pipelines have been raised by residents, but BWSSB Chairman Ramprasat Manohar assures the pipes are standard and will be flushed out before commissioning. A lukewarm response to the water connection drive has been received, with residents hesitant to apply until after the project is fully commissioned.
Overall, BWSSB is confident in the system’s readiness and looks forward to providing long-awaited water supply to residents. The board prioritizes residents who have paid and waited patiently for years for water connections. With optimism for increased applications once water supply begins, BWSSB remains committed to meeting the water needs of the villages. Stay tuned for updates on this promising development.
