Water scarcity: Bengaluru water board mandates installation of aerators in taps

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.

Manohar outlined the timeline for implementation, stating, “From March 21 to 31, a voluntary 10-day window is provided for aerator installation. After the March 31 deadline, BWSSB will install aerators in all establishments where they have not been installed. These installations will be carried out by accredited plumbers, with the expenses borne by the owners of the respective establishments”.
