On filters and flush water color changes...

Here is an interesting email posted by a resident under the subject line - [Flush Water color change Co-incidental or the fact (Myth Busted)]

I have problem in the common toilet flush, the water doesn't fill up soon, it takes mins (>10) to fill it up.
I have the complaint and the plumber came and checked, resolved the issue.
When i inquired about the issue, he replied, the filters are blocked dues to bad water quality.
he cleaned the filters are all good for couple of weeks.

Then friday it was the same issue, and the same plumber came on saturday.
This time he finished the job in few mins and no cleaning done.
But the issue resolved, when i inquired he said i have removed the filters and you will not have any problem.

Yes, the problem is resolved but when i asked if you remove the filter won't the dirt come into the pot.
for which he replied, this is the same in most of the flats, you will not find this issue anymore.
Most of the flats are with out filters.

In fact, i learnt that there will be two filters and he spared one for me, but most of the flats do not have both the filters.

But, since yesterday(Sunday) the water color is black, and worst of kind.
looks like directly coming from gutter.

Now, the problem of bad water quality in flush tanks is because of the removal of filters or
it is due to the bad treatment of the water.

Maintenance Team, kindly confirm.

@all, do you remember this kind of issue and then you started getting bad quality water ?

Thanks,

Future owners beware

Listed below is an email about Cauvery water connections. Notice that water connection applications for two fully occupied blocks have not been made yet and its the same story with upcoming blocks. So if you have bought into the new blocks or are thinking of buying, please be aware of the reality.

Dear Mr [removed].

Further to my mail dated 17/18 -3-2015 ,I wish to bring to your notice the following facts:

It is learnt that application for cauvery water for SALARPURIA GREENAGE has been  made only for Alpine and Birch blocks. No application has been made for other occupied blocks namely Juniper and Oak and other six  upcoming bocks. It is possible that  BWSSB supplies a quantity of water which is inadequate for all the blocks .This will force us to depend on tanker water to a great extent and the present quality problem may persist.

I bring it to your kind notice so that you may direct your officials to make application for other blocks as well.

Regards

Hope springs eternal (especially in the Spring)

The dirty water in the flush saga continues. Listed below is an email request to the SS management from a senior resident (with attached photograph). Hoping this brings some desperately-needed relief to the residents...Stay tuned for updates (hopefully positive ones).

Dear [removed],

There are a number of mails addressed to the facility office regarding flush water, a photo taken today is for your information. This is a serious issue, may invite health related issues not only to residents but also to the plumbers committed to attend repairs to flush tanks. One does not want any reason for this bad water delivered but needs quick action from your end.
With the facility manager post is vacant, maintanace is going bad to worse. And we are supposed to have a premium community called greenage but in reality it is otherwise. Photo attached for your reference and to take action.
