  1. Hi All,

    News in todays paper regarding Cauvery Stage IV Phase II project availability. - http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/Check-your-flats-Cauvery-credentials/articleshow/16457684.cms

    Content pasted below.
    ===========================

    BANGALORE: Planning to buy an apartment in the outlying areas of the city? Check two things with your builder:Will the flat you are planning to purchase be supplied with Cauvery river water by the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB); has the builder deposited any amount in this regard with the water board? If the builder has, how much money has been deposited and how much is being collected from you?

    The caution is necessitated by the fact that BWSSB's ambitious Cauvery Stage IV Phase II project, which is billed to bring Cauvery water to new BBMP areas, will not benefit all localities. There are also instances of some blocks of an apartment complex getting Cauvery water,while others in the same enclave being deprived of it.

    The BWSSB began collecting beneficiary capital contribution fund (BCCF) from builders to raise capital for its project in 2005. The BCCF collection was later stopped and has been resumed now. The project is likely to be commissioned in November.

    TOI's queries with a few builders revealed that some of them had included the BCCF in the flat cost. While some said it will have to be paid separately to the board, there are also instances of the same being included as deposit towards utilities like water and electricity connections.

    A builder in HBR Layout said the deposit amount for electricity and water connections is included in the cost of the flat. "If the flat you choose falls in the area which will get Cauvery water, the builder will pay BCCF to the board, or else you will be supplied water from borewells and private tankers," said an employee of DS Max properties.

    However, the employee failed give a break up of how much exactly is to be paid as deposit for water connection. Mantri Builders and Brigade Group employees said BCCF is paid by the builder and the same will be recovered from the flat cost.

  2. Hi Folks, Great initiative - I am a buyer too. Reading the above article, the obvious question is, will Rohan Builders expect flat buyers to pay separately to acquire a Cauvery water connection, or is this already factored into the price tag?

  3. Ooops...I didn't see this while i posted the same news and started a discussion from the "Migrated posts from harshsagar" thread...Sorry Vasantha for duplicating it...nevertheless our quest is for the right answers...did you get some thing to hear from Rohan on the cauvery water availability? I know that Cauvery water is already available in some areas or notified in others in and around the property. I think only Rohan can answer us...

  4. Raghavan, Thanks for dropping by...do contribute on this forum with the updates and concerns/questions you have on the project. To answer your query the BWSSB (Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage board) charges for Cauvery water supply is already part of the all in price.

    1. Manju, Thanks for dropping by...This is a very valid point i guess...i think it is the individual flat owner's responsibility to get the A katha for the respective flats...generally builders do it...obviously after collecting the money (When i say money...hope you understand where all it goes) required for securing the Katha. Rohan tried to do this for phase 1, but i understand there was some misunderstanding between the builder and the association becuase of which no one paid the money and the A khata process never went ahead for the phase1 occupants. We can put this collectively to Rohan i guess and see what there response would be.

      Cheers!

  6. Hi, I am a prospective buyer. How is the water situation in the location and how do the amenities differ between Phase 1 and Phase 2 overall?

  7. Amenities are the same - more or less. You can compare them from the website - they have details of both the phases in the web. Water Situation is as good (or as bad as the case may be)as any area you consider. No Cauvery Water for now - But the connection is coming. I see pipe lines coming all around the property...Borewells are dug up by the builder. Ground water situation was good in the area...m sure that could be depleting with time and with lots happening aroound. So thats how it is...if you have specific concern on water - Do post it.

    Cheers!
