Water supply will be affected on February 10 and 11 in most parts of the City which receive supply from Cauvery II and III stages owing to a major repair work.

According to an official of the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), maintenance work at TK Halli, Harohalli and Tataguni pumping stations will be taken up on the two days. The Board will also take up modification work at the 220 KV station in TK Halli, pertaining to Cauvery IV stage II phase project.

The BWSSB has made arrangements to supply water through tankers in case of emergency needs. Water tankers can be requisitioned by calling the Board on 22238888 (call centre).
