Having issued a deadline of December 31, 2011, for installation, and published a gazette notification on July 7, BWSSB can now cut off water and sanitary connections to houses without RWH.Through the notification, the regulations titledBangalore Water Supply and Sewerage (Rain Water Harvesting) (Amendment) Regulations, 2011, have come into force. The amendment states that where the owner or occupier of a building fails to provide RWH within the deadline, modified under section 72A of the Act, water supply could be disconnected.
