Summary:
Girinath told TNIE, “At present, we pump the maximum possible water of 1450 MLD on an average. We have taken a decision to use our reserve pumps so that more water can be pumped to the city during summer. At present, the pumps work 24x7 on full capacity to pump water from a distance of nearly 100km from Thoraikadanahalli (TK Halli) reservoir to Bengaluru city. Meanwhile, BWSSB has offered 10 of its jetting machines to BBMP to spray disinfectant across the city more effectively. These have more power than the machines BBMP has,” Girinath added..
