The Section Officer will then issue a 'boring slip' and provide the required connection from the main pipeline. The water charges vary according to slab rates depending on the quantity consumed. There are separate application forms for connections of water pipes of more than 15 mm diameter.
Water tariffs vary for such connections depending on the use - domestic, commercial or industrial.
For illegal connections, in addition to service charge and penalty, unmetered consumption charges will be collected for 3 years. Theft of water or unauthorized sewerage connection is an offence, and is an act of stealing. Unless all consumers pay the legitimate charges for connection and consumption, other consumers suffer. Please report to the local government or Board if you notice any unauthorized connection. Water is a precious commodity.
