Cauvery Water Supply In Bengaluru Affected Today: See Which Areas Will Be Hit

The Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) successfully restored power to the Harohalli and TK Halli pumping stations, which supply crucial Cauvery water to Bengaluru, after a power outage caused by heavy rain and lightning on Thursday night lasted for about 10 hours.

The power disruption, which struck around 11 p.m., halted water pumping for approximately 10 hours, creating concerns for residents relying on a steady water supply. "The sudden disruption in power affected water pumping to the city," shared BWSSB Chairman Ram Prasath Manohar. "While pumping has resumed, some areas of Bengaluru might experience delays in their water supply," he added.

KPTCL has begun repair work on the damaged transformers, working diligently to restore power fully. However, until the repairs are complete, intermittent water supply issues are expected to continue. In a reassuring press release, Manohar urged Bengaluru residents to remain patient, ensuring them that normal water supply would resume as soon as the power grid is fully stabilized.

In the meantime, the Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has issued an advisory encouraging citizens to store water and use it sparingly, especially in areas serviced by the Cauvery water network. "We understand the inconvenience this causes, and we appreciate the cooperation of residents during these challenging times," Manohar emphasized.

For many Bengalureans, Cauvery water is a lifeline residents are urged to conserve their current water supplies until the situation is fully resolved, and normal services can resume without further interruption.
