BENGALURU: In a significant development aimed at addressing the water needs of construction projects, the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) announced its readiness to supply 10 Million Litres per Day (MLD) of treated water.
The initiative comes as a boon to the construction sector, ensuring uninterrupted progress while promoting sustainable water usage practices, said BWSSB chairman Ram Prasath Manohar.
He emphasized the board’s commitment to deliver high-quality treated water for construction purposes. He also directed the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI) to provide a comprehensive report, detailing water demand necessary for ongoing construction activities.
Manohar underscored the importance of a detailed report on zone-wise availability of treated water, demonstrating the board’s commitment to tailored solutions for diverse water needs.
“With approximately 1,200 MLD of treated water at its disposal, BWSSB is actively enhancing its distribution infrastructure to efficiently channel water to areas in need. Plans are underway to augment the existing tanker-based delivery system,” said the chairman and added that efforts are also on to expand tanker fleet capacity.
Moreover, to ensure the delivery of high-quality treated water, BWSSB is instituting measures for quality assurance, including third-party laboratory testing and certification for apartments.
As part of the collaborative effort, CREDAI office bearers have been tasked with submitting comprehensive reports outlining ongoing construction projects and corresponding water demand. Simultaneously, the Bangalore Apartment Association will provide zone-wise data on treated water availability.
