“Don’t they have any kind of water treatment plant,” queried one user, prompting Mr. Padmanabhacha to reveal, “RO treated Water!!” Another user lamented, “What a shame. After paying crores HBs are destined to live in such unhygienic conditions. How did the project get OC with out availability of potable water. Promters are after profit, Govt after revenue. Judiciary unconcerned. HBs left in the lurch.”
Amidst the serious discourse, some couldn’t resist jesting about the water’s hue, likening it to sambhar. “For a moment, I thought they were supplying Sambar to home thru taps. Unfortunate,” quipped one. “Omg… i thought its rasam. jokes apart i guess its drainage mixed with drinking water,” remarked another.
The Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) had previously acknowledged similar issues, attributing them to new pipeline installations or maintenance work. However, there have been no recent updates on this matter.
