Apartments in many cities are dogged with drinking water problems. In this backdrop, the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority (K-RERA) has taken a crucial decision of registering the properties, built by real estate builders. The K-RERA will permit registration of the building provided the builder produces evidence of the building having water supply
It took the decision to protect the interests of the buyers. If the builder fails in this regard, he or she will not get necessary permissions. Builders, prior to registering their property, should submit all relevant documents to K-RERA. Officials subject them to scrutiny and issue a registration number. The builders should produce NoC issued by the Bangalore water supply and Sewerage Board in urban areas and NOC issued by the village panchayats for rural projects.
Many builders left the project without providing drinking water. That is why the K-RERA is insisting on NoC instead of a normal affidavit. To solve drinking water problems of house owners, the K-RERA has decided to permit the properties to undergo registration only if the builders provide NoC from the Water Board or from Pachayats.
Under the limits of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike, there are many sky-scrapers. The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board official said that permission to register property was issued only after verification whether the building has water supply connection. The official said that buildings located in 110 villages will receive water supply after 2023. K-RERA made it clear that the onus to supply drinking water lies with the builder if the water board or panchayats fail to supply drinking water to residents. Or it suggested building a overhead water tank. To avoid drinking water shortage, several welfare associations of apartment dwellers are buying drinking water tankers to tide over the water crisis.
