Q: Hi, I shall like to understand and get a guidance on the BWSSB processing and charges. Can you please confirm what is the govt rate / sq ft for the same and who all should be applying for this.
In a domestic high rise the sanitary charge applicable to every household for consuming BWSSB water is minimum of Rs 100 or 25 per cent of the water bill, whichever is higher.
The total amount is calculated as follows: Total fees + Pro rata charges + Beneficiary Capital Contribution
1) Total fees: Rs 2040 (Payable in the form of a DD in favour of the Chairman, BWSSB)
Break up of total fees -
Meter charges: Rs 850
Inspection fee: Rs 250
Three months minimum fee: Rs 315
Connection fee: Rs 25
Sewage line fee: Rs 600
2) Pro Rata charges are applicable for houses that have more than two storeys, in sites measuring 1200 sq ft or more. If you are staying in a house with three floors (G+2) or more, then pro rata charges are applicable only from the second floor onwards, not on the first or ground floors.
3) Beneficiary Capital Contribution is to be paid at any branch of Syndicate Bank within BBMP jurisdiction. The beneficiary capital contribution can also be paid in 24 equal installments, which will be added in your water bill.
The Sajala form with the documents can be submitted at your nearest BWSSB sub division office
Days required for water connection: Seven to fifteen days (Inspection might cause delay)
