FAQs

Can I get a connection without OC?

For permanent connections, OC is mandatory. During construction, you may apply for temporary tanker or borewell usage.

You may need to rely on borewell or Panchayat supply until BWSSB coverage expands.

Yes. Builders or apartment associations usually apply for bulk connection and install internal distribution.

It varies but is usually ₹3,000–₹10,000 for domestic connections depending on pipe size and location.

BWSSB water connection ensures legal and hygienic water supply for your property in Bengaluru. Having clear documentation, an OC, and compliant plumbing helps you get connected faster. Regular billing and responsible usage also help avoid future disruptions or penalties.
