Bengaluru Water Supply Restored After Emergency Cauvery Pipeline Repair
Bengaluru, India – December 18, 2025 – Water supply to Bengaluru has been fully restored following an 18-hour emergency repair to the Cauvery V Stage water supply project. The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) announced the successful completion of the complex operation late Thursday evening.
According to BWSSB Chairman V. Ram Prasath Manohar, a significant leakage was detected at chainage 5.2km from T. K. Halli (Gundapura) in the massive 3,000 mm diameter transmission main. The leakage stemmed from a damaged gasket and broken hardware on the pipeline’s scour valve.
To address the critical issue, a water supply shutdown commenced on Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. Technical teams worked continuously to replace the damaged components, successfully concluding the repair work at 2:00 a.m. Thursday.
The BWSSB lauded the teams for their rapid and effective response in restoring water services to the city. Residents can now expect water supply to return to normal schedules.
