Public utilities for the major museum districts in Karnataka are managed by state and regional boards:
* **Electricity:** Supplied by regional electricity supply companies. Bengaluru uses BESCOM (Bangalore Electricity Supply Company), while Mysuru is serviced by CHESCOM. * **Water & Sewage:** Managed by city-specific boards, such as the BWSSB (Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board) and Mysore City Corporation. * **Waste Management:** Urban local bodies handle solid waste management. Major museums are mandated to follow strict dry and wet waste segregation, and many employ specialized disposal for archival and chemical waste (e.g., in natural history and medical museums).
