The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) mandated the installation of aerators in taps for bulk users by March 31 to reduce water wastage amid scarcity.
An aerator serves as a device designed to regulate the flow of water from taps to prevent wastage. “It is now mandatory for apartments, commercial establishments, industries, luxury hotels, restaurants, and public spaces to install aerators in their taps.” BWSSB Chairman V Ram Prasath Manohar, in a statement, said on March 19. He also appealed to all households to voluntarily utilise them as well.
