Bengaluru: The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) is working to implement ‘Sanchari Cauvery – Cauvery on Wheels,’ a first-of-its-kind initiative in India, to provide BIS-certified drinking water at residents’ doorsteps.
With groundwater levels dropping, private water tankers are increasing their rates, causing financial strain on residents. To address this issue, BWSSB has introduced an app and a website for booking tanker deliveries at fixed, discounted rates. The service will offer tracked tankers with OTP-protected deliveries, fair pricing and reliable water access.
BWSSB chairman Ram Prasath Manohar said the project aims to deliver clean drinking water from Cauvery connect centres to consumers efficiently.
Priority will be given to 110 villages and to residents who have applied for Cauvery water connections and are awaiting pipeline installations. Citizens can book tanker water on demand and avail it at discounted prices.
Private tanker owners can register with BWSSB on a rental basis. For details, contact chief engineer (quality & design assurance) Sanath Kumar at 990188838.
