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.
Please take simple precautions not to clutter the sewers with cloth, sanitary pads, diapers, paper, plastic, cotton etc. Flushing such materials in toilets and drains will cause obstruction and overflow, which is both unhealthy and unaesthetic. If you do not get proper service, please contact the local unit of Lok Satta for guidance and help.
