Karnataka Urban Water Supply And Drainage Board

This office for the Karnataka Urban Water Supply And Drainage Board is situated in Chikodi, over in the Belgaum district. We’re located on Mahabar Lane, specifically at the spot associated with Smt Gulnaz Shafiq Dongarakhe. Dealing with water and drainage is a daily task that never really stops. It’s a lot of physical work and keeping track of the local pipes and lines. Chikodi is a decent place to work, but the issues with water can be tricky sometimes, especially when the weather doesn't cooperate. We aren't a big corporate firm with fancy lobbies. It’s just an office where we manage the local infrastructure. People come in with questions about their connections or if there’s a leak somewhere on the lane. We do our best to get things sorted out without making a big deal of it. The guys are usually out in the field more than they are in the office. It’s a practical job, really. You have to know the ground and where everything is buried. Being part of the community here means we see the same faces every day. We just keep our heads down and try to keep the water flowing and the drains clear. It’s not glamorous, but it is necessary work for the town. We’ve been at this Mahabar Lane address for quite some time now.
