Yesterday, Mr.Shankar (authorized contractor of BWSSB) from Judicial Layout visited Palm Court, after the association invited him to help us put in our application for Cauvery water connection. He explained to us all the steps involved in getting the connection. Here is the summary of our discussions with him.
. We need to get an endorsement from the Bytarayanapura CMC, confirming that the payment that we made to them (user contribution) has been remitted to the BWSSB. Mr.Shankar would help us in this regard.
. We need to submit the following documents to BWSSB - 3 copies of the BBMP approved building plan, last year's property tax receipts from all Palm Court residents.
. Along with the above, we need to submit our application for the connection through an authorized contractor. Mr.Shankar would help us here too.
Now, here is the tricky part - the money matters. We must pay up approximately Rs.6 lacs to realize the connection, out of which 10% needs to be paid in advance for the application form to be put in. For those of you who're interested, here is the split-up of the amount:
Billable (BWSSB receipts can be obtained for this amount)
Pro-rate charges - Rs.80/- per sq.meter of built up area (~Rs.440000/-)
Site Inspection charges - Rs.10000/-
Meter charges - Rs.50000/-
Non-billable amount (20% of above)
Rs.100000/-
Now, this is what is going on at the moment...
On 21st November, the association circulated a detailed write-up on this among the legacy committee members. Unfortunately, most of them were not available for taking an immediate decision. The earliest they can meet up is the 1st of December. So, the association has decided to wait till the committee meets, and then call for a general body to discuss the matter in detail and the going-ahead plans.

this is the best time for us to get cauvery water connection, when Bwssb is giving connections in this area. If we miss this oppurtunity we will not only lose the money (around Rs. 4,80,000) which we have already paid to bWssb but also face water problems in future. I think this is the time to act rather than discussing for hours on end without any outcome. I hope the legacy committee acts faster for the interest of all the residents.

this is a ver good oppurtunity for us to get the water connection, when the Bwssb is giving connections in this area. If we miss this chance we will end up losing Rs. 4,80,000 Which we have already paid as a user contribution and also end up opting for unending water woes. I hope the legacy committee takes up the issue faster and act on it in the interest of the residents or else pass it on to the committee for an earlier action.
regards and goodluck
