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

Sir, Few day's ago in front of our house bwssb carried out the work of laying down new drainage pipe & due to the negligience of the contractor our drinking water supply pipe got damaged & the concerned contractor did not do the repair work properly & even now the leakage has not stopped.

Sir,

Regarding BWSSB connection issue, I tried calling the BWSSB complaint number(so called 24 hr) i.e[protected].

1.This number is OOO always. Most of the time they pick up and out right keep the receiver on table.
2.On Continuous calling for one week, someone took (Feb 14 i.e 14/02/2015 tiem 2to 2:15pm) and the moment I told complaint, he disconnected the call.Again I called and asked him, why you are doing like this, He simply disconnected the call by scolding me local language like "dharidhra".

Sir, please take action as this is complaint number advertised by BWSSB everywhere and they behave like this.

regards,
Abhinandan

Connection not given for application submitted on 26/08/2013 BWSSB Complaint Ref:DM526 I had applied for the BWSSB water connection on 26/08/2013, Ref: DM526 (file No.). The initial deposit of Rs.8000/- was deposited at Syndicate bank, K.R.Puram on 26/08/2013. The basic DD Rs.3355/- and other required documents was handed over to D M Engineering, through whom the connection application was forwarded. They also have taken a service charge of Rs.2000/-. They were to come back with the prorate amount based on the site measurement. I had been following it up for quite sometime with the DM Engineering. After repeated follow ups in person, they said that the file is missing and not able to trace it. I have to refile the application in duplicate. The same was initiated on 30/08/2014. After which they came for the measurement and gave us the prorate charges to be paid. I paid the prorate charges through canara Bank DD for Rs.15413/- on 29/09/2014. My follow up again started with the D M Engineers, They still started telling the old story the basic DD is traceable, the initial deposit is not traceable. I had got the confirmation from Syndicate Bank Authority for the credit of the initial deposit to the BWSSB account on 26/08/2013. And from the BOB manager on credit of the Basis DD for Rs.3355/- on 09/11/2013. I have given the application, all the related documents, the DD, challan copies, proof of payment attested by the Bank authorities, I am not sure, when will i get the BWSSB water connnection. Request your help in speeding up the matter. Thanks Sheeja/Vinod For you information: The initial deposit of Rs.8000/- paid through challan at Syndicate bank, K.R.puram on 26/08/2013.

Hi, I am a resident of #152, Royal shelters devarachikkanahalli, bangalore. In 2004 mar, we have paid rs. 10000 as the deposit. However, they have charged 10000 as arears and made the bill to be around 12500. When we personally went to the bwssb office at BTM layout, with the photocopy of the Bill fo10000 paid, they rejected it asking us to submit the original bill. My question is how can anybody give them original bill? Do they not have any accountability to keep their books in order. On top of that they demand us to give original bills. They have spoiled our weekend. Please look into the matter and get it corrected. Regds, Vinitha gare

Dear Sir, Madam, We are residents of Ramamurthynagar. We have Cauvery water connection. Our RR No is E-511247/1-145 Consumer number - 50099. From 3 years we have geting water bill for Rs.150 to Rs.300 at the most. However for the month of February, our water bill is for Rs.4866. Meter reading is done correctly. (Usually usage is 10000 ltrs, but for this month meter has run 114000 ltrs) We contacted Ramamurthynagar office, they inspected the meter and they suspect meter might have run due to air pressure. However they say there is no way to do any correction on this bill, we have to pay the full bill of Rs.4866. Please let us know how could this problem be corrected... It is really difficult to pay this huge bill... Thanks.

Dear sir, In Vidyaranyapura, HMT Layout II cross, behind Durga temple, every day sewage water is being let out by adjacent locality named Narsipura. The Sewage water flows in the rain water channel (Mori) in front of all our houses causing bad smell, mosquitoes and diseases. Not only sewage water, but also Cauvery water flows due to damaged pipes. The flow is quite heavy many a time. We have complained to the BWSSB engineer, he came and saw and told it cannot be rectified. This is happening for the last 5-6 years. Previously UGD was not there in Narsipura. Now with UGD being there the sewage connections have not been taken by many people and because of it we are suffering. Please ensure the people who do not have sanitary connections are penalised and they take connections and STOP this menace.

i am a resident of sanjaynagar bangalore keb layout 4th main 3rd cross during the addition of a valve to the kaveri / corporation water pipe our connection was cut off by the bwssb people . when we politely asked them to fix it even offered money for it. they just covered the hole and went away i request bwssb to take action ASAP.

Dear Sir, From past two months, i see that bill shows "NonDomestic" . Went to VijayaBank Layout Service station, got the number of Meter Reader, when enquired He says that " alteration of the house has been done few months back and hence he changed Domestic to NonDomestic " . I can confirm that I never did any alteration or any construction of the house, only thing that done 8 months back was cleaning of sump and painting of house before handing over to new tenants . When explained this to Meter Reader, he says - what has happened is happened, to get it changed to Domestic need to go to Jambusavari Dinne service office pay chellan of Rs 250/- and submit the application . May I request you to correct this error . [ sometimes error happens, the difference is how quickly can this be corrected ] Have attached the bill Thanks Harish [protected]

Dear concerned individuals @ BWSSB. People are not getting one litre of drinking water for their living and we are wasting gallons of water in every supply. After being complained for number of times BWSSB is giving a blind eye to the problem. This has been the case for months, enough phone calls and complaints made at the office. But action has been taken so far. Request to all the honest people in the organisation who really care for the nation to take necessary action at the earliest. We have tried ample number of times by hiring private labours to rectify the problem but assuming the crack is in the main supply pipe. Hoping for a quick fix else we have to be subservient and learn to dealing with frustration. I will keep sharing the issue with you though Location Address: 5th main, 1st cross, Laksminarayana Layout, Muneekolala, Bangalore

For the past 6 Months we are been getting billed for 50-60, 000 litres of water, whereas our consumption doesnt cross even 20, 000 litres. The reason being we have a Bore-well which is also registered and we draw water from the Bore-well everyday and once in a week or once in 15 days we use Cauvery water which has been stored in our Sump. We went to register our complaint more than 3 times, but all the times we were sent back with a reason...

There is a Ralakaluve at Vinayaka Nagara, M S Palya.Vidyaranyapura Post This Rajakaluve is meant for sewage and rain water. But local BWSSB officials have left sanitary water in multiple locations. As this Rajakaluve is not cleaned from many years, the drainage water is not flowing, stagnant and dirty water the area is infested with mosquitoes, This causing health issues and stinking all over the area. We are having difficulties in breathing. If it continuous, due to this hygiene issue we will be prone to respiratory and other diseases Please treat this has an emergency and consider this seriously.

Dear sir, I'm nishath, a resident of malleswaram, 8th main road, md block, 3rd cross.A couple of months ago bwssb undertook a massive sewage pipeline laying exercise, a newly laid road was dug up for laying the pipeline, in the process they managed to break the water pipeline and ever since they have not bothered to fix it.we get cauvery water every alternate day to the locality and on those days the road is filled with water.it resembles a stream, its ironic that bwssb which preaches "saving water" has a lackadaisical approach to fixing damages created by them.complaints to the local engineers at bwssb have gone unanswered.so much water is getting wasted..kindly ensure that this gets fixed as soon as possible

Respected Sir, We get water supply to our house only once week and this problem is faced by neighbours as well. We have given letters to BWSSB koramangala office, contacted even the Assistant Executive Engineer 10 times to have a look at this problem, but there were no action taken. We don't know who more to contact. Please help. We are buying from this private tankers for Rs 400 for 1000 liters who are looting us.
