Harvest rain or no water line-Bangalore-Cities-The Times of India

Harvest rain or no water line-Bangalore-Cities-The Times of India: "
Better include a rainwater harvesting system in your new building plan. Else, BWSSB won't sanction water and sanitary connections.The law making rainwater harvesting (RWH) mandatory in new constructions, until now only on paper, will finally be implemented. Two days after the World Environment Day, this need dawned on BWSSB belatedly.In an order dated June 7, it directed that henceforth, while receiving applications for sanction of water supply connections, a drawing showing the rainwater harvesting system should be included. It should specify details like rooftop area, pipeline arrangement, diameter of pipes, collection tanks, etc.(snip)
