Bangalore Water Supply & Sewerage Board [BWSSB] Complaints & Reviews

Hi Tream, We could see that our meter reading is only showing a reading of 0127549 and we have been billed at 723000 which way way higher than current charges we should be receiving a refund for this higher billing. Please let us know how do we sort this issue.

Dear Sir, Reg:- Complaint against the External Agency who fixes the digital meters As per the recent decision of BWSSB the old water meters are being replaced by digital meters by an external Agency engaged by BWSSB in the entire Bangalore City. This work is being undertaken when servicing is not there(i.e., day time). After their work, when servicing is given in the night, in almost all the new fittings people are experiencing huge water leakage. While in some cases the leakage is after water passes through the meter, in some other cases it is before water enters the meter. Thus, it causes loss to either the house owner or to the BWSSB. No authority seem to have looked into this ultimate loss in otherwise useable water. It is strange as to why it has not been made mandatory for the Agency to check this aspect after servicing is given? Secondly, in our apt. building at 113, BCC Lay Out, 1st Stage, Attiguppe, 4th Cross, Bangalore 40, while we had got the earlier meter fixed in ‘U’ form in order to ensure that the reading in the meter not to get moved by blow of air in the pipe when servicing is given, the Agency has made the new fitting straight, thereby removing all the additional fittings in ‘U’ form fitting. Strangely, the Agency has taken away the addl. fittings also. Thus, the action of the Agency has not only made us to lose our addl. fittings, but also entailed us to get increase in consumption units with out flow of water, for run of meter reading due to initial blow of air resulting at the time of servicing. Thus, for our protection, now we are required to get the fixing changed into ‘U’ form, if we want. I have already put this query to the engineers Sri.Hanumantharaju and Sri Jayashankar of your office in Chandra Lay Out branch. But neither of them have replied so far. Please let me have your clarification in the matter, Sir. Yours, BSDamdoar Cell No.[protected] ‘Ashirvada’ No.41, BCC Layout, 2nd Stage, Bangalore 560040

There is a borewell situated opposite to presidency school, bilekahalli, bangalore - 560076. You will find the groundwater is fully exploited continuously and hundreds of lorryloads of water is transported daily to various places. This place is overwhelmed by traffic always since there is a lot of traffic because of school buses and vehicles. The tar road was laid afresh on 1 / 11 / 2013 and it is totally damaged within 2 years due to heavy traffic by water lorries. Please take action against the borewell operator as he is commercially exploiting the groundwater unauthorisedly from a residential connection and also damaging the adjoining roads

Dear Sir/Mam, Kindly check the meter at 1903, 10th cross, Kumaraswamy layout 2nd stage bangalore -78 as we are getting bill of above 2000 from past 3 months.

Our bill for the month of May is very high (Rs 8581). Someone from BWSSB was sent to our office today and he was unable to give us a proper explanation as to why the bill was high. He just told us that the meter readings are high with no further explanations. It is not fair for us to pay such a high amount as we have not consumed so much water. The RR number is N-204656/SHN-5-353. Can you please send someone who can rectify and solve our bill issue.

They might have not put water stopper in their house due to which litres of water is getting waste daily twice. Pipe has been put to drainage to let the water get wasted. Please make them stop it immediately, we already have less in our water reservoirs. Please note the address below, S.J.
