WATER FOR BANGALORE

DID YOU KNOW
1. When you flush your toilet you use 7 to 12 liters
of Filtered Water which comes all the way from
Thorekadanahalli – 93 Kms away from Bangalore.

2. A normal household with 4 persons flushes about

18 to 20 times in a day using 140 liters to 240
liters.

3. It costs BWS&SB Rs.17.00 per 1000 lts to bring

this water to Bangalore

4. Everyday we use Rs.4.50 worth of filtered water

for flushing.

5. Is it not a criminal waste?

6. Instead of filtered water can we not switch over

to treated water?
