Present Water Supply Scenario Service Area    : 800.29 SqKm Population as on 2008    : 7.5Million Present Demand  : 1125 MLD Present Supply  : 900 MLD The Per Capita Supply  : 110 to 120 ltrs Water allocation from Cauvery  : 19 TMC Already utilised  : 12 TMC Complete utilisation by  : 2012-13
ALTERNATIVE SOURSES Recycle and reuse of wastewater for non    potable uses Dual piping system in all new layouts Rain water harvesting Restoration of lakes to improve ground    water table
City Distribution System: The city has about 5638 kms of distribution network ranging from 50 mm to 600 mm dia. Rechlorination is done at city reservoirs to maintain residual chlorine of 0.2ppm at consumer end. Chlorine plants installed in the city -  46 Nos

WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT Testing physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters of raw water and treated water at treatment plants. Testing samples from distribution system in the city. More than 60 water samples are collected every day from the distribution system and tested. Two mobile labs with portable testing kit collect samples from the city distribution system every day.
Customer friendly initiatives Advanced Interactive Voice Response System for booking complaints is functional.(155313) Electronic Clearance System is introduced. Customer Charter launched. e-Tendering Informative Website in position. (www.bwssb.org)
Customer friendly initiatives Total No. of KIOSK installed – 74 Nos  24x7 multi-utility fully automated Water bill payment KIOSK KaverEcom - with facilities for collecting cash, cheques and DDs is in operaton.

GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) All the information of water and sewerage pipeline network, and all other assets of  BWSSB has been incorporated in GIS. It is going to become a major tool for the management of the entire water supply and sanitation system, including revenue billing.
SERVICE TO  URBAN POOR 10% of the urban population are living in slums Water for these slums is supplied through public taps free of cost Few slums are provided with individual connections which are exempted from access charges except for Rs. 550 towards  meter cost The lowest tariff adopted is Rs.6/KL
Initiatives  Unaccounted for water – Pilot project  completed in central part of Bangalore. Setting of Recycling and Reuse of Waste water for potable purpose. Rain water harvesting to meet demand in domestic and industrial buildings. Dual pipe supply of Potable and Non-Potable water in New layouts.
Improving Accountability Installation of bulk flow meters on feeder mains in the city  Hand held terminals for spot meter reading Installation of SCADA to all the main valves, controlling point at Cauvery Bhavan
