BWSSB has decided to cut water supply by 20%
Seizing swimming pool usage is also mandated
Directive to ensure equitable water distribution
In a significant move, BWSSB has decided to cut water supply by 20% to its major consumers, effective from April 1, 2024. This decision was made by BWSSB Chairman Dr. V. Ram Prasath Manohar following discussions with key customers holding substantial water connections.
The ramifications of this decision are profound, particularly for a city like Bengaluru, with a population of 1.40 crores, where ensuring adequate water supply poses a formidable challenge.
Key points of the decision include:
In response to this measure, institutions with significant water connections, including hospitals, are urged to raise awareness about water conservation within their premises. Immediate cessation of activities like swimming pool usage is also mandated.
Furthermore, there is a directive to ensure equitable water distribution, with engineers tasked to prioritize slums, impoverished areas, and locations with the greatest need. This move underscores BWSSB’s commitment to address the city’s water challenges effectively.
