BENGALURU: The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB)
BENGALURU: The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has proposed a 10 per cent rebate on prorata charges if bookings for water and sanitary connections are made online from 2017. This initiative is an effort to put an end to corrupt practices by BWSSB plumbers and engineers when people approach them for connections and to encourage online payment.
This was a move initiated by former top officials at BWSSB -- then Chairman T M Vijay Bhaskar and Engineer-in-Chief S Krishnappa -- nine months ago. The plan was shelved after the chairman was moved out of the department.
Present chairman Tushar Girinath has decided to revive the proposal and suggested it during the last Board meeting held 10 days ago, said BWSSB sources.
