Kerala Water Authority Complaints & Reviews

Drinking Water — unavailability of drinking water

dear sir/madam,

In ref. of drinking water in Bengali colony , Mahavir Enclave-1,

in this area drinking water not available till date, since this colony developed and every family has to suffer everyday and run behind water tankers.. but delhi jal board / govt. deptt. are still in silent mode. even main line of jal board passes through main road ( only 100 mtr. far). but still no connectivity to this colony. every time colored MLA's and MP's have come in commited to residents to connect this line. but still are only commitments.....

kindly look in to the matter..........

I am representing the residents of St.Albert's College Lane ( Division 41).
There is no drinking water supply since the last 5 days. I had informed KWA Pallimuku Office ( Complaints) three times during the past 5 days; but there is no response. Today I could speak to the AEE in charge ( Mr.Jain Raj)and represented the matter.
I am awaiting his response in the matter.

Dear Sir,


Kindly recall my earlier telephonic conversations with your goodself regarding without supply of drinking water to me and charging over billing by your office. In this connection I am enclosing the copy of the following bills for your kind information and taking necessary action:

1) Bill No.2531 dt.24/11/2011 for Rs.54 for the period from 09/2011 to 10/2011
2) Bill No.2531 dt.01/03/2012 for Rs.240 for the period from 09/2011 to 02/2012

I also invite your attention to my earlier letters dt.19 Dec 2009, 26 Mar 2010, 29 Sep 11, 30 Sep 11, 19 Oct 11, 07 Feb 12, etc. addressed to the AXE, KWA, Tripunithura and copy marked for the kind attention of AE, Shri Sunil Kumar (photocopies are enclosed for ready reference) which are self explanatory.

As per the Tariff and conditions printed in the bill KWA has the responsibility to give consumers sufficient drinking water atleast 5000 litres for Rs.20 per month. Now KWA has failed to supply the sufficient water to my house and liable to adjust the water charges from the changing of my water meter. My present reading of water meter is : . On the facts and circumstances stated above, I request you to take immediate action to give us sufficient drinking water and to make necessary deduction to our bill issued to us immediately.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,

Sub:- Scarcity of drinking water to Maradu Municipality – reg.
Ref:- Letter dt.12 Nov 11 signed by 3 consumers of KWA.


Kindly refer to the letter mentioned above regarding acute shortage of drinking water to the Maradu Municipality starting from Primary Health Center to Nettoor Railway Level Cross ie. Coastal road. Due to poor pumping of water to this area a lot of KWA consumers are using electric motors for collecting water and this is making others severe head-ache ie. not getting the water.

In this connection, I request you to take immediate action on the following:

(1) Increase the water pumping time.
(2) Take immediate action to stop the using of electric motors to collect the drinking water directly from water line at this coastal area.

Thanking you,




Yours faithfully,

Water Leakage for more than 3 months in NCC Nagar, Trivandrum

Hello, The water line in NCC Nagar opposite anganvady has been leaking for last 3 months. We have been complaining many times over phone, however it is not being repaired. Please replair this at the earliest, Thanks

I am staying in Trivandrum, Kerala, (Nedumangad Vattappara Road (Puthen vila temple Road )In our Area there is No Water Supply for the past 20 days .Most of the people living here are struggling and given lot of complaints through phone to the Assistant Engineer of water Authority, Nedumangad, but there was no proper explanation or reply from him and he is not even visited the area.Almost 200 more people are living in this area Authorities concerned may please take immediate steps to save at least our needs.Kindly take this as a human issue.please get it rectified at the earliest, In this summer season all o[censored]s are really struggling a lot and we are eagerly waiting for your support.

Dear sir,
I am staying in Trivandrum, Kerala, (Pulimoodu Junction, Near GPO, TC-25/3618). The residents here have been facing problems with the irregular water supply for more than a year. We have made a compliant to Assistant Engineer of water authority, Trivandrum. Some people have visited the place after long follow ups but they are of the opinion that there is some pumping issue since our place is in high altitude and we are still forced to adjust with the irregular water supply. The another funny thing to be noted is the pumping issue is faced by the water authority in specific times that is everyday between 7am to 10pm we will have to compromise for the pumping issue. This timings may vary sometimes we have to wait till 2pm the next day for the supply. On most Sundays and public holidays this pumping issue will not be there. Kindly look into the matter seriously and take appropriate actions. We also need transparency for this issue. The services offered by water authority is not free of cost we are paying for it. Then why should we suffer for this

The people of pulimood resident association is really fed up by following up this. We have to change our daily routines. So we expect a trustworthy solution for this burning issue.

sir,

The main Water Authority Pipe line which is passing in front of the Punthalathazham Electricty board Office is posted before 30 years (6inch Pipe) They fix 1.30 inches pipe(reducer) and Volvo to block the water for the personal interest of a particular person.

Because of this reason above 350 families were suffering from water scarcity. We inform this complaints with a written letter but there is no response after 4 week. So pls. take necessary action to solve this problem.

pls. do the needful, at the earliest.

thanking you,

Sir,

I am native of palakkad, kerala, but temporarily residing at banglore for work purposes. The drinking water in my present residence at banglore has some whitish powder like deposits. So, I decided to test that water, for which I had come to test in palakkad. But these people sitting the lab are ignorant and reluctant to test the water.

Sir, I dont know why are they doing so. This is drinking water and I would like to know if its harmful for use, but the Govt. water authority is not helping. They say they have too much of workload so cant test water of banglore. I dont understand a reason.

Kindly help.

Thank You,
Ramesh,

To the Chief Engineer, Kerala Water Authority.

Sir, I have noticed a severe leakage in the pipe line carrying water from Thiruvalla to Changanacherry near Muthoor, which is a place under the Thiruvalla Water works Office.

The spot is between KSEB Electricity Post No: 'TC - 67' and 'TC - 68' in the same side of the posts. I have noticed it last month and there after, no repair work has been done till date. The leakage makes an uncountable wastage of drinking water and since the road is at an elevation, only VIEWING FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD could bring the leakage to notice. I doubt there are two spots of water leakage and therefore, two cracks for the underground piping within a ten feet gap.

I would like to bring your kind attention to the above issue, and request you to kindly take the apt action to rectify or else, to forward this complaint to whoever it may concern.
Thanking you,
Manoj Bimal G.

Dear Sir

We are from Mylachal (Near Ottasekharamangalam) under Parassala Division, Trivandrum. I am a paid customer of Kerala Water authority on the same way one of my neighbor Mr. George Near Mylachal school his plot is on the way to Edaval (Transformer - Cement Road). He is illegally taking water from the road connection to watering his plantain and rubber plantation at night time (after 11 PM). This is the continuous process from last one year.
Sir we are suffering from lack of water, our co-villagers didn't get drinking water on the hilly places.
He regularly spend thousands of litters with out any payment. We informed the Parassala divisional office number of times. We have little doubt some corrupt officers are on the seat.
Sir we think you have vigilance dept. You may please find its reality. We the common people expecting a valuable result.

Yours faithfully
Paurasamathi Mylachel.

Sir,
I feel very sorry to lodge a complaint against non availability of water through KWA pipe line. I am making this complaint on-line because I am pre occupied with my Officcial duties at Ernakulam.
The authorities at Thiruvalla Division is well aware that Thukalassery Kunnumpuram (near to Mahadeva Temple and Amritha Vidyalayam) is a elevated place in Thiruvalla Thaluk. For the last 6 days the taps are dry. There is no alternative source of water in this area since this area is lying in high altitude. People are suffering a lot due to non-availability of water. Sir, kindly realise the situation.
I have contaced your Office at Tiruvalla and I was told that they are opening the valve (situated near Deaf School) for the free flow of water to our area. I was told that when the water supply reaches Thukalassery Kunnumpuram, the supply in the main line will stop. Therefore, no supply to our area.
I feel that the only solution is to open the valve giving time priority.
Sir, I kindly request your goodself to be kind enough to direct authorities accordingly.

With respectfull regards

Sir, I am a Water Authority customer since 1979. Fright from the beggining, I used to pay the water bills in advance (Once in an year). Last year 2010, On January 5th when I contacted your payment counter, the cashier sitting at the counter informed me that the bill cannot be taken as I have a due of Rs.252. I have never made a default of water bill till date and I have all the bills with me. (including the year they told me) More over he informed me that only the Asst. Exe. Engineer wave the dues and hence to contact him. I tried several attempts to contact him personally. But I could not and hence I sent him a complaint requesting him to wave the dues on me as I have already paid. If I had a due in 2004, they should have told me and blocked the payment in 2005, or any of the succeeding years and why wait for 7 years like this. The AXe was Mr. Sajeev at that time. Because of this I have not paid this years advance water bill till date.

I would appreciate if you could kindly take up the issue and wave the dues on me and allow me to pay 2010, and 2011 advance water bills.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
