Bengaluru will face a 12-hour water supply disruption on July 16 as BWSSB carries out emergency repairs on a 2700 mm Cauvery Stage 4 Phase 2 pipeline. Several areas across the city will be affected, with residents advised to store sufficient water in advance.

Bengaluru residents in several parts of the city will face a temporary water supply disruption on Thursday, July 16, 2026, as the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has scheduled emergency maintenance work. The water supply will remain suspended for around 12 hours in areas covered under the Cauvery Water Supply Scheme Stage 4, Phase 2, due to urgent repairs on a major pipeline.
