QUESTION
Increasing pressure of water supply from OHT's in Bangalore, Karnataka: Alternate methods sought

We live in an independent house comprising of ground floor and 1st floor in Bangalore. We fully depend on corporation water for our water needs. We have a sumptank of 6000 ltrs and 2 over head tanks of 1000 ltrs each (both connected in parallell) The portions on the 1st floor experience low water pressure in all taps & showers, when we contacted a plumber he said it is because the over head tank is not high enough.

Now we cannot increase the height of the tank, is there any solution to increase the water preassure in the 1st floor houses? Is there some kind of motors or pumps which can help us? Kindly suggest an appropriate remedy to the same.
