The Hindu : Karnataka / Bangalore News : Water supply twice a week, but reduced to a trickle: "

Water has become a scarce commodity in Ramaswamypalya, Beerappa Road and surrounding areas in Marutisevanagar and Lingarajapuram.Although Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) recently installed drinking water and underground drainage lines in all the 27 newly added wards of Bangalore Mahanagara Palike, including Lingarajapuram, water is supplied twice a week, but reduced to a trickle for one or two hours in these areas.While areas in the downstream of Marutisevanagar get proper water supply, those located on an elevation have to make do with water coming in a trickle. This is troubling the residents of Ramaswamypalya, especially Beerappa Road. These people get water supply only on Thursdays and Sundays and that too for an hour.
