There will be a water supply disruption in several areas of Bengaluru on February 5 and 6 due to scheduled maintenance work undertaken by Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB). The operation results ina complete shutdown of supply across South and Central Bengaluru for 24 hours.
The maintenance work involved replacing 1200 mm diameter Cast Iron pipelines in Sarakki with new 1200 mm, 900 mm, and 700 mm Mild Steel (MS) pipelines. To complete this work, it required shutting down several lines for Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the Cauvery Water Supply Scheme, temporarily halting water distribution to the affected areas.
Chairman of the Water Board Dr V Ram Prasath Manohar asked citizens to store extra water and use it judiciously during the maintenance period to minimise inconvenience.
