After seepage issues in LP Shastri Nagar, the water supply has been delayed.
Story so far: Dirty water made its way into over a hundred homes because of seepage into Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board’s (BWSSB) 100-diameter main water pipeline, leaving homeowners in LP Shastri Nagar’s HAL ward extremely worried.
- The pipe was damaged, and water from Shastrinagar’s stormwater drain was entering it.
- BWSSB officials report the issue has been fixed, but homeowners have another story. A local leader reports that the water supply hasn’t been restored in over seven days.
Cause for delay: The BWSSB was supposed to replenish the water supply through its tankers. But locals have noticed road-digging and truck movement by other private agencies.
