Leaking Water Main


B.V. Shenoy, Member, Mysore Grahakara Parishat writes

The water main which takes water from the Yadavagiri High Level Reservoir to Bannimantap and surrounding areas is leaking badly at the intersection of Vivekananda Road and 3rd Cross, Yadavagiri.

The leak started more than two weeks ago and is getting worse every day. It poses a threat to public health since bacteria and other contaminants can get into drinking water during periods of negative pressure. Also the road is getting severely eroded from the leaking water.

Repeated complaints to MCC have not produced any results. We hope MCC wakes up soon and attends to this growing problem.
