BWSSB Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board.

Operation & Maintenance of Electrical Installations for Water Supply Infrastructure under the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) involves the systematic management of all electrical systems that support the city’s water supply network. This scope covers high-voltage and low-voltage installations at pumping stations, substations, treatment plants, reservoirs, and allied facilities that are essential for the continuous movement and distribution of water.

The operation component focuses on safe and efficient functioning of electrical equipment such as transformers, switchgear, motors, control panels, protection systems, and auxiliary power supplies. It includes real-time monitoring of load conditions, voltage levels, and equipment performance to ensure uninterrupted power availability for critical pumping operations. Trained personnel carry out switching operations, coordination with power utilities, and adherence to standard operating procedures to maintain system stability and safety.

Maintenance activities are carried out through a structured program of routine inspection, preventive maintenance, predictive checks, and timely corrective actions. This includes testing and servicing of transformers, circuit breakers, relays, motors, cables, earthing systems, and backup power arrangements. Emphasis is placed on minimizing breakdowns, reducing downtime, and extending the service life of electrical assets through proper upkeep and compliance with relevant safety standards and statutory regulations.

The scope also incorporates fault diagnosis, emergency response, and restoration of power supply during failures to ensure minimal disruption to water supply services. Detailed record-keeping, reporting, and documentation are maintained for audits, performance evaluation, and continuous improvement. Overall, effective operation and maintenance of electrical installations under BWSSB play a vital role in ensuring reliable power supply, operational safety, energy efficiency, and uninterrupted delivery of safe drinking water to the residents of Bengaluru.
