Formation
Prior to the formation of the Board, the task of providing water supply to the city was with the Bangalore City Corporation in the Cantonment area and KPWD in the city area. The cost of maintenance was charged to the corporation which was purchasing the water in bulk from PWD. The head works was under the control of PWD. From 14th August 1961 the entire distribution system except the head works was transferred to BCC for its maintenance.
The World Bank team which came for first hand appraisal of the project insisted upon the need for creating an autonomous Board for handling the Cauvery Water Supply Scheme on commercial lines which was accepted by the Government. Accordingly, the Bangalore Water Supply & Sewerage Board was constituted under an Act of Karnataka State Legislature vide notification No.PLM/15/MNY/64 dated 30th September 1964 and the Board came into the existence on 2nd October 1964. With the formation of the Board the entire system of water supply component was transferred to the Board on 1st December 1964 and the sanitary component on 21st December 1964.
