Buoyed with the positive outcome of the pilot project, ‘Unaccounted
for Water (UFW)’, undertaken by the Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage
Board (BWSSB), Hyderabad metropolitan water supply and sewerage board
(HMWS&SB) proposes to take up a similar pilot project here soon.
The
Larsen & Toubro Ltd, which successfully undertook the UFW pilot
project in Bengaluru, has made a PowerPoint presentation on UFW to chief
minister’s secretary K Jawahar Reddy, principal secretary for municipal
administration and urban development B Sam Bob and HMWS&SB managing
director J Syamala Rao at the water board’s head office at Khairatabad
here on Tuesday.
The Bengaluru pilot project, costing `4 crore,
covered 35,000 water service connections gave positive results as they
could reduce UFW to about 25 percent and the amount they spent was
recovered in four years, officials said.
