The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has successfully completed a critical emergency repair on the Cauvery V Stage water supply project, working non-stop for 18 hours to restore services to the city.
BWSSB Chairman V. Ram Prasath Manohar said that the technical teams, working on a war footing, have successfully attended to the leakage in the scour valve of the massive 3,000 mm diameter transmission main.
The major leakage was identified at chainage 5.2km from T. K. Halli (Gundapura). The repair work involved the complex task of replacing a damaged gasket along with broken nuts and bolts on the massive pipeline. To facilitate this critical repair, water supply was shutdown, commencing on Wednesday from 7.30 a.m. and concluding successfully on Thursday at 2 a.m., he added.
