Dear respected Mr. M. Laxminarayana,

Sub: Improper and Shortage of water supply to HBR 5^th block. 1^st stage, Ward No: 24

Please refer to your message addressed to BWSSB Chairman as reiterated below, with a copy to us on 16^th April 2012 for your easy and quick understanding. Thank you very much for sparing your valuable time and intervening in our water crisis to find a solution.

(Dear Sir, The maximum number of complaints received regarding improper supply of water is from the HBR Layout Area.   The issue was brought to the notice of the Hon'ble Chief Minister and I have been directed to get a report within 3 days on exactly what is the problem along with a solution to over come the issue.   The action taken on this issue may please be informed to the CMO.

 With Regards,

M.Laxminarayana,

Principal Secretary to Hon'ble Chief Minister,)

We, the residents of 34, 35th crosses and part of 18,19th mains in HBR layout, 5^th block, 1st stage, Bangalore-43, Ward-24 would like to bring to your kind notice that we are facing acute water shortage problem for the last 9 months.In spite of our several complaints to BWSSB, improper and deficient water supply problem is persisting till date inspite of your above said message. Hence we are forced to bring up the matter to your high office to sort out this perennial problem once again. After receiving your message, we were very happy and thought that the water problem would be solved. But to our dismay, even after the lapse of 35 days, the water supply position has not been improved in any manner. Earlier (3months back) we used to get water supply from 6AM to 10 AM and nowadays we get supply only from 6AM to 7 - 7.15AM. We don’t get water with sufficient and proper pressure and that too for short duration. There was a plan of connecting a link pipe from adjacent road pipes (where there is enough water flow) to 18^thmain pipe some time back by BWSSB officials. But that has never happened. Then again the officials were telling us that once the erection of pump house is completed by March end, then there wouldn’t be any water problem. This is also not happened till date and we don’t know when this will happen. We undergo a lot of mental anguish on every water supply days and facing hardship to manage our life.

Therefore, we, with no other alternative, submit our grievances to you Sir and request your good selves to look into the matter seriouslyand instruct the East division E-1 engineers to take up some corrective measures/actions to address this problem in the affected areas and restore normal water supply with adequate pressure.

Thank you Sir,

With warm regards
