-water-supply Re-narration

Residents of bangalore east are reporting that Despite several phone calls, e-mails and hand-written letters to the concerned officials at the BWSSB including the Chairman and Public Relations Officer (PRO), the water problem is not solved. Assistant Executive Engineer N Malla Reddy has given Vittal and his neighbours a temporary solution to the problem by sending tankers on call. BWSSB Chairman P B Ramamurthy is saying since Bangalore is a flat land 'pressure' as the reason for Bangalore East being affected. The water that is pumped from T K Halli (located about 85 kms from Bengaluru) does not come directly to Bangalore East because of lack of a proper pipeline network. To solve this water board has taken up the Cauvery 4th Stage 2nd Phase project. “Water to East has to come through new pipeline. By end of 2011 this will be ready. We'll get 500 MLD of water”.(mega litre per day)Another problem that hits water supply to Bangalore East has to do with electricity. The water board Chief says that when power goes off for even five minutes, it takes an hour to begin pumping water again.
