<p>The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) is planning to regularise illegal water connections in the City. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The BWSSB has relaxed existing rules to regularise water connections and has directed officers to collect documents and to issue RR (Revenue Register) number as a proof. <br /><br />Consumers with unauthorised connections have been told to submit documents like sale deed of the property, general power of attorney, telephone bill, electricity bill, ration card along with an affidavit on stamp paper of Rs 20 from the owner/occupant to get their water connections regularised. <br /><br />The BWSSB is also playing safe in case of disputed property, as the board has reserved the right to disconnect water supply connection without further notice. There is no last date to submit the documents to regularise the connection, but if the BWSSB finds any unauthorised connection, they will either disconnect or give time to regularise it.<br /><br />According to BWSSB officials, nearly 36 per cent of water supply is recorded as unaccounted for water (UFW) as a large portion of the water supply is drawn through unauthorised water connections. There are existing pipelines meant to supply borewell water and there are high chances of illegal drawal of water through these lines.<br /><br />The BWSSB is also gearing up to supply water from Cauvery IV stage II phase from August this year.</p>
