Your water / sewer connection journey

The current Jaladhare public page exposes charge categories for application, attachment, inspection, three-month minimum deposit, meter, sanitary points, GBWASP/BCC, prorata, and actual line cost; it also links connection-fee references.

As observed on 2026-08-28, the public Jaladhare page displayed a status table for permission for a new or additional water/underground-drainage connection with headings of 14 days for residential connections and 42 days for commercial and high-rise connections.

These are displayed target headings, not an unconditional service-level promise. The table metrics were blank in the public observation and the trigger for the clock is not stated.

One citizen seeking a connection reported receiving an on-site quotation and being told a future supply estimate, but did not report a completed application or connection.

This only records a citizen's reported pre-application experience; it establishes no agency commitment, connection availability, inspection rule, or wait time.

One citizen reported having a water connection while continuing to use supplementary water, and reported that underground-drainage connection was not obtained in that case.

A single post-connection account. It does not prove service quantity, an entitlement, drainage feasibility criteria, or that the same outcome applies elsewhere.

The current public page lists lease cum sale deed or sale deed, Khata certificate, Building Plan / Sanction Plan, photographs of building with owner, and an RWH adoption document for premises measuring 1200sqft and above under Documents required.

BWSSB's FAQ describes an older registered-email/password route in which Buy New Application costs Rs 100 and a failed transaction with a debit is to be refunded by the payment-gateway merchant.

One public complainant reported that, after being assigned a BWSSB RR number and meter for a new connection, the supply line had not been provided and the meter had not been attached to the water line.
