To overcome this problem, we are in progress of implementing a solution in which we will inform customers on any unscheduled interruptions of water supply by using Short Message Service( SMS).To enjoy the service please ensure that your mobile phone number is registered under the Board.

WS5     There is a leakage in my house’s pipes system. Can you please help me?

Yes. You can contact SWB’s licensed pipe fitters to help you to repair the pipes. The list of the licensed pipe fitters is available at SWB’s office and SWB’s website as well.

WS6     How do we check whether there is pipe leakage in our house?

Turn off all the taps in your house including the inlet to the roof tank if any. Record the meter reading and leave it for a few hours, preferably overnight. If there is no change in the meter reading, your plumbing system is intact. The severity of any leakage will be indicated by the reading registered. You may wish to check the point of leakage by looking out for wet patches on the ground or on the wall, or you probably need to call a plumber immediately to locate and repair the leak.
